Disposition notice
On October 15, 2026, Chief Judge Cynthia Bashant of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California granted the joint motion filed by Martin Kaufman and defendants Flight Ventures Aviation Academy, LLC; Christopher Brian Haug; NV Aviation LLC; Nathaniel Volk; ACME Aviation Services LLC; and Joshua Matthew Lee. Finding good cause, the court dismissed the action with prejudice, ordered each party to bear its own costs and attorney’s fees, and directed the Clerk of Court to close the case. The order explained that Rule 41(a)(1) permits voluntary dismissal by a stipulation signed by all appearing parties and that the district’s Civil Local Rule 7.2 requires such a stipulation to be filed as a joint motion.
