UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On July 1, 2016, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice. See Doc. 

No. 6.

 

Rule 41(a)(1), in relevant part, reads:

(A) . . . the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a 

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

for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who 

have appeared. . . . (B) Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the 

dismissal is without prejudice. 

Dismissals under Rule 41(a)(1)(A), when properly filed, are effective immediately and do 

not require a court order/court approval. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); Yesh Music v. 

Lakewood Church, 727 F.3d 356, 362 (5th Cir. 2013); Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. 

Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 

688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).

Here, no answers to Plaintiff’s complaint and no motions for summary judgment have been 

filed in this case, and it appears that no such documents have been served. Because Plaintiff has 

exercised his right to voluntarily dismiss his complaint with prejudice under Rule 41(a)(1), this 

case has terminated automatically. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i); Wilson, 111 F.3d at 692. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall CLOSE this case in light of 

Plaintiff’s Rule 41(a)(1) voluntary dismissal with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 5, 2016
