CASE NO. 1:16-cv-00429-DAD-JLT
ORDER CLOSING CASE AS TO JONES AND
MAYER, CHARLES F. NEUMEYER AND
GEORGE ROSCOE TRINDALL, III ONLY
(Doc. 63)
On February 22, 2017, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the case as to
18
defendants Jones and Mayer, Charles F. Neumeyer and George Roscoe Trindall, III only. (Doc. 63)
19
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 41 provides that “the plaintiff may dismiss an action without
20
a court order by filing: (i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or
21
a motion for summary judgment . . .” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). Once such a notice has been
22
filed, an order of the Court is not required to make the dismissal effective. Fed. R. Civ. P.
23
41(a)(1)(ii); Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997).
Here, these defendants have filed a motion to dismiss but have not answered or filed a
24
25
motion for summary judgment.
