May 30, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER GRANTING Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice of Entire Action #17 by Judge Fred W. Slaughter the following: The above-captioned action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE in its entirety as to all parties and all claims for relief. Each party shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs. (Made JS-6. Case Terminated.) (jp)
May 26, 2023 Filing 17 STIPULATION to Dismiss Case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) filed by Plaintiff EH Tech Inc.. (Attachments: #1 Proposed Order)(Reeves, Jeffrey)
May 23, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 16 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER UNSEALING CASE; DENYING RELIEF SOUGHT ON AN EX PARTE BASIS #1 , #7 , #12 ; STRIKING IMPROPER FILINGS #2 , #5 ; AND ORDERING PLAINTIFF TO SHOW CAUSE RE: DISMISSAL FOR LACK OF SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION by Judge Fred W. Slaughter: Accordingly, the court orders as follows: 1. Plaintiff is ORDERED to show cause, in writing, on or before May 30, 2023, why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Any adequate response to the courts order must be accompanied by a proposed complaint or other proper case initiating document filed as a separate document on the case docket, with an appropriate declaration made under penalty of perjury. Failure to comply with this directive by the deadline set by the court may result in dismissal of this action. See Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 44 (1991); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 2. To the extent Plaintiff seeks ex parte relief to compel arbitration, that request (Dkts. 1, 7) is DENIED for the reasons stated above. Accordingly, Plaintiff's second ex parte request to set a hearing date on its ex parte petition to compel arbitration (Dkt. 12) is similarly DENIED. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78(b); L.R. 7-15. The court expresses no view on the merits of any contemplated motion to compel arbitration. 3. Because the court denies request for Plaintiff's ex parte relief and both the application to seal and petition to compel arbitration are deficient as discussed above, the relevant corresponding documents (Dkts. 2, 5) are STRICKEN from the case docket. As above, the court's order should not be construed as expressing an opinion on the merits of any motion. 4. The clerk shall UNSEAL this case in its entirety, with the exception of Dkts. 2 and 5, which shall remain nonpublic because the court does not reach the merits of Plaintiff's sealing requests and those documents have been stricken as stated above. 5. Plaintiff is ORDERED to serve Defendant with a copy of this Order and each of the materials it filed on the docket in this matter, including those stricken by this Order, on or before May 30, 2023. 6. Any documents filed with the court must comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Central District of Californias Local Rules, and this court's rules and procedures, including any and all meet and confer requirements. Given the record before the court, further violations of the applicable rules and procedures may result in sanctions, including and up to dismissal, for violations of court orders and/or failure to make a reasonable inquiry into the procedures governing civil actions filed in this court. See Chambers, 501 U.S. at 44; Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1260; Holgate v. Baldwin, 425 F.3d 671, 675-76 (9th Cir. 2005); Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b), (c)(1), (c)(3), 41(b);L.R. 83-7. (bm)
