UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROJIH MANILA,

Plaintiff,

vs.

PROFESSIONAL BUREAU OF COLLECTIONS 

OF MARYLAND, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00668-SAB

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITH 

PREJUDICE PURSUANT TO FEDERAL 

RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 41(a)(1)(A)(i)

(ECF No. 5)

Plaintiff filed this action on May 1, 2015. On July 22, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice to dismiss 

this action with prejudice. 

“[U]nder Rule 41(a)(1)(i), „a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss his action 

prior to service by the defendant of an answer or a motion for summary judgment.‟” Commercial 

Space Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. Boeing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999) (quoting Wilson v. 

City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997)). “[A] dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is effective 

on filing, no court order is required, the parties are left as though no action had been brought, the 

defendant can‟t complain, and the district court lacks jurisdiction to do anything about it.” Id. at 1078. 

No defendant has filed an answer or other responsive pleading.
