MINUTE ORDER

Defendant.

The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
14
(1)
The Court previously dismissed this action on May 10, 2018, see docket
nos. 101 & 102. For this reason, Petitioner’s Motion for Voluntary Dismissal filed on
August 15, 2018, see docket no. 103, was struck as moot, see docket no. 105. Petitioner
16
has filed two additional notices of voluntary dismissal, see docket nos. 106 & 107, and a
motion for relief from judgment, see docket no. 108.
17
(2)
Petitioner has not alleged or proven any of the grounds for relief from a
18 final judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 60. Petitioner’s motion
argues that all orders and judgments in this proceeding are “void for mootness.”
19 Petitioner appears to confuse the mootness of his voluntary dismissal notices, which were
filed after the matter was closed, with questions of jurisdictional mootness, which are not
20 applicable here.

Petitioner’s Motion for Relief from Judgment, docket no. 108, is DENIED.
