The following excerpt is from Cordero v. Guzman, No. 2:13-cv-1551 JAM KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2015):
Defendants do not argue that they did not receive timely notice or were prejudiced. Citing Martell v. Antelope Valley Hosp. Med. Ctr., 67 Cal.App.4th 978, 982 (1998), defendants argue that, as a matter of law, actions voluntarily dismissed do not toll the statute of limitations.
