Absent any pending counterclaims, a court is authorized to dismiss a case at the Plaintiff's request on the terms that the court considers proper. Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(2). Defendant has asserted no counterclaims and has not objected to this motion. After taking into consideration said Motion, the Court finds the Plaintiff's Motion should be GRANTED and Plaintiff's case be dismissed without prejudice.
