UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PETROCCO FARMS, INC., a Colorado 

corporation,

Plaintiff,

v.

GREEN TREE INTERNATIONAL, INC.,

A California corporation; JOHN M RAST, an 

individual; and CARY CRUM, an individual,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00779-SMS

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO CLOSE CASE

(Doc. 11) 

On July 20, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, with prejudice, against all 

Defendants under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). (Doc. 11.) Rule 41(a)(1)(A) 

provides:

[T]he plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: 

(i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an 

answer to a motion for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of 

dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). “The filing of a notice of voluntary dismissal with the court 

automatically terminates the action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice.” 

(American Soccer Co. v. Score First Enters, 187 F3d. 1108, 1110 (9th Cir. 1999) (quoting Wilson v. 

City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Because Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary 

dismissal before service by Defendants of an answer or motion summary judgment, this case has 

terminated. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
