ORDER DISMISSING JOHN DOES 1, 2 & 4, ONLY
Blackburn, J.
The matter before me is Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice of John Does 1, 2, & 4 [#177] filed January 4, 2013. After reviewing the notice and the record, I conclude that the notice should be approved and that plaintiff's claims against John Does 1, 2, and 4 should be dismissed without prejudice.
"[#177]" is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a specific paper by the court's electronic case filing and management system (CM/ECF). I use this convention throughout this order.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice of John Does 1, 2, & 4 [#177] filed February 28, 2013, is APPROVED;
2. That plaintiff's claims against John Does 1, 2 and 4 are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; and
3. That defendant John Does 1, 2, and 4 are DROPPED as named parties to this action, and the case caption is amended accordingly.
Dated March 1, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
