October 23, 2023 Filing 15 REPORT of Planning Meeting . (Loo, Jonathan)
October 16, 2023 Filing 14 EO: On 10/16/2023, the parties who have appeared in this action submitted a proposed Stipulation to Substitute City and County of Honolulu as Defendant for Official Capacity Claims and to Dismiss Official Capacity Claims against Individual Defendants without Prejudice ("Proposed Stipulation"). In relevant part, the Proposed Stipulation states: WHEREAS, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs and Defendants Dana Viola, Rick Blangiardi, and the City, by and through their respective counsel, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), that the City is the proper party for the official capacity claims, and that the official capacity claims against the Individual Defendants be dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiffs' claims against the Individual Defendants in their individual capacities, and Plaintiffs' 42 U.S.C. 1983 claim against the City remain. Under Rule 41(a)(1), "the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing... a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) (emphasis added). The Proposed Stipulation does not appear to amount to the dismissal of all claims against any one defendant. And there is authority that Rule 15(a), not Rule 41(a)(1), governs the dismissal of less than all claims against a defendant. See Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 687-88 (9th Cir. 2005); Gen. Signal Corp. v. MCI Telecomms. Corp., 66 F.3d 1500, 1513 (9th Cir. 1995). The parties may submit another stipulation that accords with the applicable rules. The Court notes that certain defendants have already filed motions to dismiss in this matter. ECF Nos. 12, 13. If necessary, defendants should refile those motions to respond to the applicable pleading. See, e.g., Brown v. Stored Value Cards, Inc., 953 F.3d 567, 573 n.5 (9th Cir. 2020) ("An amended complaint supersedes the original complaint and renders it without legal effect."). (JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE)(shm)
