ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT
TO CLOSE THIS ACTION IN LIGHT OF THE
NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
(Doc. 5)

On July 24, 2018, Plaintiffs United Africa-Asian Abilities Club and Jessie James Davis IV filed

18

a notice of voluntary dismissal. (Doc. 5) Plaintiffs request that the Court “enter a dismissal with

19

prejudice.” (Id. at 1)

20

Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i), “the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court

21

order by filing . . . a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion

22

for summary judgment.” Because the defendants had not appeared in this action or filed an answer, the

23

action was automatically terminated. Id. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS: the Clerk of Court IS

24

DIRECTED to close this action in light of the notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice.
