ORDER RE: CASE MANAGEMENT AND DISMISSAL OF ACTION

Court orders the entire case dismissed Without Prejudice.

If you contest the tentative ruling you must do so in a timely manner in accordance with the Local Rules. Failure to alert the Court and the opposing side or to appear will result in the Court affirming its tentative ruling. If the tentative ruling is uncontested, no appearance is necessary and the Court's tentative ruling will become a final order of the Court after the hearing.
