16

Plaintiff filed a July 22, 2011 notice of voluntary dismissal. The notice fails to comply with

17

F.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), which requires a stipulation signed by defendants who have answered or filed

18

a summary judgment motion. As such, this Court DENIES dismissal of this action in the absence of

19

compliance with F.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). This Court ORDERS the remaining parties, no later than

20

July 29, 2011, to file either: (a) a stipulation which satisfies F.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) and a proposed

21

order to dismiss remaining defendants; or (b) papers to show good cause why the parties have failed to

22

comply with F.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). This Court ADMONISHES counsel to obey the Federal Rules

23

of Civil Procedure and this Court’s Local Rules and orders. This Court FURTHER ADMONISHES

24

counsel that failure to comply with this order in the absence of good cause will result in imposition of

25

sanctions, including monetary sanctions and/or dismissal of this action with or without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
