Date Filed Document Text
May 9, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 8 MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto on 5/9/2023: (Text Only Entry) On May 8, 2023, the parties filed a stipulation, presumably pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), to dismiss Plaintiff's third cause of action for violation of section 1793.2(b) of the Song-Beverly Act without prejudice. (Doc. #7 .) However, Rule 41 does not permit dismissal of part of the claims against a party. United States v. Hill, No. 2:17-CV-608-MCE-EFB, 2020 WL 5502327, at *2 (E.D. Cal. Sept. 11, 2020), report and recommendation adopted, No. 2:17-CV-00608 MCE EFB, 2020 WL 6158232 (E.D. Cal. Oct. 21, 2020) ("Rule 41 does not permit a party to dismiss some but not all of its claims. Instead, a party is required to seek leave of the court to amend the complaint to eliminate one or more, but less than all, of its claims under Rule 15."). See also Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 687-88 (9th Cir. 2005) (affirming the district court by construing the Rule 41 dismissal as granting leave to amend to remove the claims in question); Ethridge v. Harbor House Rest., 861 F.2d 1389, 1392 (9th Cir. 1988). Thus, the Court construes the parties' stipulation as an unopposed motion seeking leave to amend under Rule 15. Given that leave should be freely given, and that the parties stipulated to removing the claim, the Court GRANTS leave to amend. Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint on or before June 8, 2023.
