See Docket No. 143. In this Stipulated Order, the Plaintiff 18 voluntarily dismissed his claims under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) due to a reached settlement with the 19 following Defendants: Episcopal Community Services, Kathy Treeggiari (The name in the caption 20 is incorrectly spelled Kathy Treeggiari; the correct spelling is Kathy Treggiari), Jarrell Brown, 21 Emeke Nmeke (The name in the caption is incorrectly spelled Emeke Nmeke; the correct spelling 22 is Emeka Nnebe), Dolores Street Community Services, Saul Hidalgo, Yesenia Lacayo, Steven 23 Reus, City and County of San Francisco, Cathy Perdue, and all Parties that have appeared in the 24 action. Id. at 1-2. 25 The Stipulation further noted “For the avoidance of doubt, Plaintiff does not voluntarily 26 dismiss any claims against Defendants Glide Foundation or Karen Hanrahan.” Id. at 2. However, 27 those two Defendants are no longer in the case. Plaintiff previously included Karen Hanrahan and 1 On November 24, 2021, Plaintiff filed a motion for entry of default against Glide Foundation for 2 “failure to plead or otherwise defend against this action in a timely manner” after being properly 3 served pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4. Docket No. 60 (November 24, 2021). 4 On December 1, 2021, the Court entered the default as to the Glide Foundation. Docket No. 61. 5 The Court did not, however, enter default judgement against this Defendant, so Glide Foundation 6 remained part of the case. Importantly, when Plaintiff filed the Second Amendment Complaint, 7 Karen Hanrahan and Glide Foundation were not included as named defendants. Docket No. 101 8 (September 20, 2022). 9 Though Defendants Glide Foundation and Karen Hanrahan were not included in the 10 Court’s Stipulated Order, Plaintiff’s claims against these Defendants were already effectively 11 dismissed as Plaintiff failed to include them in the Second Amended Complaint, the Operative 12 Complaint herein. See Jackson v. Med. Bd. of California, No. 2:07-CV-02188-SVW-RZ, 2012 13 WL 13019955, at *11 (C.D. Cal. Apr. 19, 2012) (“This conclusion is consistent with the well- 14 established rule in the Ninth Circuit that “a plaintiff waives all causes of action alleged in the 15 original complaint which are not alleged in the amended complaint.”) (citing London v. Coopers 16 & Lybrand, 644 F.2d 811, 814 (9th Cir. 1981)) (citing Schwarzer, Tashima & Wagstaffe, Federal 17 Civil Procedure Before Trial, § 8:1551 (Rutter Group 2011)) (“An amended complaint that drops a 18 defendant named in the original complaint effectively dismisses that defendant from the action.”). 19 The Court notes that on September 11, 2024, Plaintiff filed a status report noting he 20 expects to file a default judgment motion against former Defendants Glide Foundation and Karen 21 Hanrahan within the next 60 to 90 days, but this request comes too late. Docket No. 146. 22 // 23 // 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 // 1 Accordingly, this case is CLOSED. All future status conference will be removed. 2 IT IS SO ORDERED. 3 4 || Dated: September 11, 2024 5 6 ED D M.
