The claims 20 against the other named Defendants are not subject to the stipulation and will remain active. 21 (Id.) 22 Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows a party to dismiss some or all of 23 the defendants in an action through a Rule 41(a) notice. Wilson v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 24 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997); see also Concha v. London, 62 F.3d 1493, 1506 (9th Cir. 1995) (“The 25 plaintiff may dismiss either some or all of the defendants—or some or all of his claims—through 26 a Rule 41(a)(1) notice.”)); Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 687 27 (9th Cir. 2005) (The Ninth Circuit has “only extended the rule to allow the dismissal of all claims against one defendant, so that a defendant may be dismissed from the entire action.”). “Filing a 1 | notice of voluntary dismissal with the court automatically terminates the action as to the defendants who are the subjects of the notice.” Concha, 62 F.3d at 1506. 3 Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to terminate Defendant Adrees Mayar Moslempoor dba Mayar’s Halal as a defendant in this action. 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED.
