FRANK OLIVER AND ANDREA OLIVER,
Case No.: 11-CV-4300-LHK
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ EX
PARTE MOTION FOR DISMISSAL
WITH PREJUDICE
17
On August 7, 2012, the Defendants sent an email to Courtroom Deputy Martha Parker
18
Brown. The email set forth the following facts: (1) on June 22, 2012, the Court dismissed all of the
19
Plaintiffs’ claims without prejudice (Dkt. No. 34 at 15); (2) the Court gave the Plaintiffs’ 21 days
20
to file an amended complaint, and ordered that “[f]ailure to meet this deadline will result in a
21
dismissal with prejudice” (id.); (3) on June 26, 2012, 17 days before the deadline to file an
22
amended complaint, the Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed this action without prejudice, pursuant to
23
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) (Dkt. No. 35); and (4) as of August 7, 2012, the Plaintiffs
24
had not amended their complaint. Defendants concluded their email by asking, “[w]ill the Court be
25
issuing an order dismissing plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice soon?” The Defendants’ email is a
26
prohibited ex parte communication under Civil Local Rule 11-4(c). Accordingly, rather than
27
responding to only the Defendants, the Court files this response publicly to both parties.
