EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANCISCO A. VALENCIA, Case No. 1:25-cv-00989-JLT-SAB

Plaintiff, ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT

TO CLOSE CASE AND ADJUST DOCKET

v. TO REFLECT STIPULATED DISMISSAL

NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC., (ECF No. 5)

Defendant.

15 On December 30, 2025, the parties filed a stipulation dismissing this action with prejudice. 16 (ECF No. 5.)

In addition, absent a specific request and showing of good cause, the Court generally 21 declines generic requests to retain jurisdiction following dismissal. And such retention requires a 22 subsequent order of approval from the Court retaining jurisdiction. See Kokkonen v. Guardian 23 Life Ins. Co. of…
