MIN-SUN MOON,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS 

LLP, INC. SHORT TERM DISABILITY 

PLAN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-02195-SVK 

ORDER REGARDING STIPULATION 

FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF 

DEFENDANT HARTFORD LIFE AND 

ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY

Re: Dkt. No. 10

On March 31, 2020, Plaintiff Min-Sun Moon filed this action against Defendants 

PriceWaterHouseCoopers LLP, Inc. Short Term Disability Plan (“Defendant 

PriceWaterHouseCoopers”) and Defendant Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company 

(“Defendant Hartford”). Dkt. 1. On May 1, 2020, Plaintiff Defendant Hartford filed a stipulation

dismissing Defendant Hartford from this action without prejudice. Dkt. 10. The Court directs the 

parties to Rule 41(a)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for guidance on how to 

voluntarily dismiss an action without a court order. Specifically, Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) permits the 

filing of “a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for 

summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to 

file a voluntary dismissal of Defendant Hartford by May 14, 2020. If Plaintiff does not file a 

dismissal by this date, the Court will reassign the case to a District Judge with a recommendation 

that it be dismissed. Additionally, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to submit a status report by May 

14, 2020, detailing the status of service on Defendant PriceWaterHouseCoopers.

SO ORDERED.
