UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Defendants and Counterplaintiffs Pete’s Sports and Entertainment, LLC and Henry Peter 

Weseloh seek to voluntarily dismiss their counterclaims without prejudice, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) 

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Doc. 78)

A district court should grant a motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2) unless an 

opposing party can shows “some plain legal prejudice.” Waller v. Fin. Corp. of Am., 828 F.2d 579, 

583 (9th Cir. 1987); see also Hamilton v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 679 F.2d 143, 145-46 (9th Cir. 

1982). “Legal prejudice” includes “prejudice to some legal interest, some legal claim, some legal 

argument.” Westlands Water Dist. v. United States, 100 F.3d 94, 97 (9th Cir. 1996). Here, Plaintiff 

did not respond to the motion for dismissal, and it does not appear that Plaintiff would suffer any 

prejudice as a result of the dismissal.
