UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RACHEL BRYANT,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALFONSO JOSE CONTRERAS d/b/a 

AL’S CAFÉ, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:16-cv-01748-DAD-SKO

ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK TO 

CLOSE CASE

(Doc. 14)

On March 3, 2017, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice pursuant 

to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). (Doc. 14.)

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:

[A] plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice of 

dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for 

summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who 

have appeared.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). “The plaintiff may dismiss some or all of the defendants, or some or 

all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice,” and the dismissal “automatically terminates the 

action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice.” Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 

F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).

Because Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal of this case with prejudice under Rule 

41(a)(1)(A)(i), this case has automatically terminated. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
