ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF
COURT TO ADMINISTRATIVELY
CLOSE CASE
(ECF No. 14)
Defendants.

On March 2, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal against Defendant (ECF
No. 14) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
20
In relevant part, Rule 41(a)(1)(A) provides as follows:
21
[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.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Rule 41(a)(1)(B) further provides that a dismissal pursuant to
Rule 41(a)(1)(A) is without prejudice “[u]nless the notice or stipulation states otherwise.”
26
Once a party files a notice of voluntary dismissal, no order of the court is necessary to
27
effectuate dismissal. Entry of such a dismissal is effective automatically and does not require
28
judicial approval. Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v. Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir.
1
1
1999); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997) ("The plaintiff may dismiss
2
some or all of the defendants, or some or all of his claims, through a Rule 41(a)(1) notice," and
3
the dismissal "automatically terminates the action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the
4
notice").
5
Because Plaintiff has filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal against the Defendant under
6
Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) with prejudice, this case has terminated. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
7
Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is ORDERED to administratively close this case.
