[DKT. 49] AND DENYING AS MOOT DEFENDANT’S MOTION 14 TO DISMISS [DKT. 20] NIKE INC., et al., 15 Defendants. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 Case 2:24-cv-08093-FLA-E Document 50 Filed 06/17/25 Page 2 of 2 Page ID #:690 1 On June 16, 2025, Plaintiff Lillian Jurdi (“Plaintiff”) filed a Notice of 2 Voluntary Dismissal (Dkt. 49), requesting the court dismiss the action without 3 prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1) (“Rule 41(a)(1)”), which allows a 4 plaintiff to dismiss an action voluntarily without a court order by filing: “(i) a notice 5 of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for 6 summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have 7 appeared.” 8 Plaintiff is not entitled to dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) because 9 Defendant Nike Inc. (“Defendant”) filed its Answer on December 19, 2024. See Dkt. 10 20. Further, as Plaintiff did not submit a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties 11 who appeared, Plaintiff is not entitled to dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). The 12 court, therefore, DENIES Plaintiff’s request for dismissal. 13 Nevertheless, as Defendant has not filed an opposition to the Notice of 14 Voluntary Dismissal, the court, on its own motion, hereby VACATES all pending 15 dates and deadlines and DISMISSES the action without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16 41(a)(2). Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, Dkt. 20, is DENIED as moot. The court 17 retains jurisdiction to vacate this Order and to reopen the action within thirty (30) days 18 from the date of this Order, should Defendant file timely an objection to the dismissal. 19 20 IT IS SO ORDERED. 21 22 Dated: June 17, 2025 23 _______________________________ FERNANDO L.
