This action was filed on October 23, 2015. (ECF No. 1.) The parties have consented to
18 the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge. (ECF Nos. 6, 8.) On December 22, 2015, Plaintiff filed
19 a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
20
“[U]nder Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), „a plaintiff has an absolute right to voluntarily dismiss his
21 action prior to service by the defendant of an answer or a motion for summary judgment.‟ ”
22 Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc. v. Boeing Co., Inc., 193 F.3d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1999)
23 (quoting Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997)). “[A] dismissal under
24 Rule 41(a)(1) is effective on filing, no court order is required, the parties are left as though no
25 action had been brought, the defendant can‟t complain, and the district court lacks jurisdiction to
26 do anything about it.” Commercial Space Mgmt. Co., Inc., 193 F.3d at 1078. In this action, no
27 defendant has filed an answer or other responsive pleading.
28
Plaintiff has filed a notice to dismiss this action with each party to bear their own costs

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is HEREBY ORDERED to CLOSE the file in this
