Case No.: 1:18-cv-0815 -LJO- JLT
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT
TO CLOSE THIS ACTION IN LIGHT OF THE
NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
(Doc. 4)

On July 24, 2018, Plaintiffs United Africa-Asian Abilities Club and Theodore Arthur Pinnock

18

filed a notice of voluntary dismissal. (Doc. 4) Plaintiffs indicated the parties reached a settlement of the

19

action, and requested that the complaint “be dismissed with prejudice in its entirety.” (Id. at 2)

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.
