On December 15, 2014, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice

20 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
21

In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:

22

[A] plaintiff may dismiss an action with 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.

25 Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). “The plaintiff may dismiss some or all of the defendants, or some or
26 all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice,” and the dismissal “automatically terminates the
27 action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice.” Wilson v. City of San Jose,
28 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997). Because Plaintiff has filed a notice of dismissal before an

1 answer or motion for summary judgment was filed by Defendants, this case has terminated. Fed.
2 R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).

Accordingly IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court administratively close

4 this case.
