UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 12, 2020, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, indicating his dismissal 

of the action without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41. (Doc. 7) Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A), “the 

plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing . . . a notice of dismissal before the 

opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment.” Because the defendant had 

not appeared or filed an answer, the action was automatically terminated. Id. Accordingly, the Clerk of 

Court is DIRECTED to assign a district judge to the case for purposes of termination, and to close this 

action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 13, 2020 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston
