The following excerpt is from De Salles v. Neurosigma, Inc., B287127 (Cal. App. 2019):
"When a court has jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter of a suit, its jurisdiction continues until a final judgment is entered. [Citation.] When there is a voluntary dismissal of an entire action, the court's jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter terminates." (Wackeen v. Malis (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 429, 437.)
