United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMIE DEJESUS,

Plaintiff,

v.

STONELEIGH RECOVERY 

ASSOCIATES, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03830-JSC 

ORDER REGARDING VOLUNTARY 

DISMISSAL

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. (Dkt. No. 9.) The 

Notice asks this Court to sign the dismissal and retain jurisdiction of the settlement. Defendant 

has not appeared in this action and thus has not consented to the jurisdiction of the undersigned 

magistrate judge; accordingly, the Court cannot retain jurisdiction of the settlement. Plaintiff 

therefore has two options.

First, Plaintiff can voluntarily dismiss this action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i) since Defendant has not answered nor moved for summary judgment. 

Such dismissal does not require a court order and therefore does not require the defendant’s 

consent. Upon such dismissal, however, the Court does not retain jurisdiction of the settlement.

Second, if the parties would like the Court to retain jurisdiction of the settlement, the 

parties must jointly request via stipulation of dismissal that the Court do so and Defendant must 

file a consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction.

However the parties decide to proceed, they shall file their submission on or before 

November 20, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 12, 2015
