UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 
MANUELA GALVAN, 
Plaintiff, 
v. 
EMILY RAMOS, et al., 
Defendants. 
 
No. 2:26-cv-00226-DAD-CSK 
 
ORDER TERMINATING CERTAIN 
PARTIES 
 
 On June 5, 2026, defendant United States filed a response to the court’s previous order 
dismissing certain claims and defendants (Doc. No. 21) pursuant to the filing of notices of 
voluntary dismissal (Doc. Nos. 19, 20). (Doc. No. 22.) In that response, defendant United States 
clarifies that it has substituted in as defendant in place of defendant Emily Ramos in this action 
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d)(1). (Id. at 1.) Title 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d)(1) provides that: 
Upon certification by the Attorney General that the defendant 
employee was acting within the scope of his office or employment at 
the time of the incident out of which the claim arose, any civil action 
or proceeding commenced upon such claim in a United States district 
court shall be deemed an action against the United States under the 
provisions of this title and all references thereto, and the United 
States shall be substituted as the party defendant. 
In other words, § 2679(d)(1) “requires the substitution of the United States as the defendant [upon 
certification.]” Green v. Hall, 8 F.3d 695, 698 (9th Cir. 1993). Therefore, pursuant to the court’s 
prior order and the United States’ substitution in this action, the court orders as follows:

claimant Emily Ramos and cross-defendant United States of America have been 
terminated from this action in light of the dismissal of all cross-claims; and

United States of America. 
 
IT IS SO ORDERED.
