UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CAGKAN FIRAT,

Plaintiff,

v.

TOMOCREDIT INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00810-JLT-SAB

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT 

TO CLOSE CASE AND ADJUST DOCKET 

TO REFLECT VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

(ECF No. 14)

Plaintiff commenced this action on July 12, 2024. (ECF No. 1). On December 18, 2024, 

Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the entire action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) 

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (ECF No. 14.)

“[U]nder Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), ‘a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss his 

action prior to service by the defendant of an answer or a motion for summary judgment.’” 

Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. Boeing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999) 

(quoting Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997)). The Ninth Circuit has 

held that Rule 41(a) allows a plaintiff to dismiss without a court order any defendant who has yet 

to serve an answer or motion for summary judgment. Pedrina v. Chun, 987 F.2d 608, 609 (9th 

Cir. 1993). “[A] dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is effective on filing, no court order is required, 

the parties are left as though no action had been brought, the defendant can’t complain, and the 

district court lacks jurisdiction to do anything about it.” Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc., 193 

F.3d at 1078. In this action, the defendant has not filed an answer or motion for summary 

judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
