UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

XIAOHUA HUANG,

Plaintiff,

v.

FASTMETRICS, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 20-cv-00204-WHO 

ORDER REGARDING DISMISSED

CASE AND DENYING REQUEST FOR 

RECONSIDERATION

Re: Dkt. Nos. 22, 23

Following my February 19, 2020 order granting defendant Fastmetrics, Inc. motion to set 

date to respond to the Complaint and denying pro se plaintiff Xiaohua Huang’s request for 

sanctions, Huang filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice. Dkt. No. 22. That

terminated this action. Rule 41(a)(1).

Huang then filed an objection to my order, asking that I reconsider his request for 

sanctions. Dk.t No. 23. Defense counsel argues that I should disregard Huang’s request for 

reconsideration and close the case given the voluntary withdrawal of his complaint. Dk.t No. 24. 

Huang replied, again asking that I sanction defense counsel. Dkt. Nos. 25, 26. 

As I stated in my previous order, the record does not show any factually incorrect 

statements were made frivolously or for an improper purpose. And the case has been dismissed, 

mooting any sanction motion. Huang’s request for reconsideration is DENIED. 

The Clerk shall close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 3, 2020
