The order confirms the motion satisfies these requirements and cites the appropriate Ninth Circuit authority confirming that such a dismissal is effective upon filing. |
The order itself: sound — The order is procedurally correct and concise. It identifies the motion, applies the correct rule (Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii)), cites binding Ninth Circuit precedent confirming the effectiveness of such a dismissal upon filing, and enters the appropriate order dismissing with prejudice and closing the case. There are no gaps in the reasoning for this specific procedural action.
