Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE
JS-6 The Court has reviewed defense counsel's declaration filed on December 12, 2011, Chaffin Decl., Dkt. 11, and the attached Request for Voluntary Dismissal filed by Plaintiff in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles on November 22, 2011, Dkt. 11-1. Defendants request dismissal of this matter in light of Plaintiff's filing of said request in the Superior Court. However, this case was removed from the Superior Court on September 30, 2011; thus, the request for dismissal was improperly filed. Nonetheless, although the Court recognizes that the filing of a request for dismissal in the Superior Court does not effectuate dismissal in this Court, Plaintiff has informed the Court that she does not object to dismissal here. Accordingly, the Court dismisses each of Plaintiff's causes of action without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
