Case No.: 1:18-cv-00209-AWI-SKO
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK
OF COURT TO CLOSE CASE

v.
L. PULIDO; C. SMITH,

15

Defendants.

17

On January 21, 2020, Plaintiff Kasey F. Hoffmann filed a notice of voluntary dismissal

18

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a). (Doc. 29.) Rule 41(a) provides that a “plaintiff

19

may dismiss an action without a court order by filing … a notice of dismissal before the opposing

20

party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).

21

Once a dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is properly filed, no order of the court is necessary to

22

effectuate dismissal; the dismissal is effective automatically. Commercial Space Mgmt. Co. v.

23

Boeing Co., 193 F.3d 1074, 1078 (9th Cir. 1999).

Because Plaintiff filed a notice of dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1), and no opposing party

2

has appeared in this case, this action has terminated. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk

3

of the Court to close this case.
