Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

In Los Angeles Superior Court, before the start of trial, the plaintiff orally voluntarily dismissed his complaint against the defendant. However, the defendant filed a cross-complaint against the plaintiff in her answer. The plaintiff was ordered to give notice, but he never did. The judge dismissed the entire case without prejudice.
