FRANCISCA MORALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

NASSER S.M. ALTUHAIF, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00647-DMR 

ORDER RE: NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY 

DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 17

On June 28, 2016, Plaintiff Francisca Moralez filed a notice of voluntary dismissal 

purporting to dismiss the lawsuit pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). 

[Docket No. 17.] 

However, dismissal by a Plaintiff under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) is only proper where the notice 

of dismissal is filed prior to the opposing party serving an answer or motion for summary 

judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). In the present case, Defendant Badr A. Sanane filed an 

answer. [Docket No. 11.] The other defendants in this case have not appeared. 

Therefore, Plaintiff may dismiss the case under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

41(a)(1)(A)(ii) by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared. To 

dismiss the case, Plaintiff is instructed to file a stipulation of dismissal signed by Defendant Badr 

A. Sanane. Plaintiff is instructed to make best efforts to file the stipulation of dismissal by July 

15, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 1, 2016
