DEFENDANTS' APPLICATION FOR
ENTRY OF ORDER OF DISMISSAL
PURSUANT TO THE COURT'S AUGUST
1, 2011 ORDER AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER
WHEREAS, the Court's August 1, 2011 Order (Dkt. No. 87) (the "Order") granted the motions of Defendants Johnson & Johnson ("J & J") and Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare") (collectively, "Defendants") to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint ("SAC") filed by Plaintiffs Barton Spindler, Deborah Underwood, Valerie Burks, and Parvis Kaveh ("Plaintiffs").
WHEREAS, the Order granted Plaintiffs leave to amend, stating that "Plaintiffs shall file their amended complaint, if any, within twenty days of the date of this Order."
WHEREAS, Plaintiffs did not file any amended complaint within twenty days of the date of the Order (August 22, 2011).
NOW, THEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this action be dismissed with prejudice. The Order (page 8, lines 14-15), states that "If the plaintiffs do not amend their complaint, this action will be dismissed without prejudice." However, in context, the Court may have meant "with prejudice." Thus, in the attached proposed Order, this issue is left for the Court.
Respectfully Submitted,
