Opinion
Case No. 12-10372
03-29-2012
CHARLES THOMAS, Plaintiff, v. SEARS, ROEBUCK, AND CO., Defendant.
ORDER OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
Plaintiff initiated this action on January 27, 2012, and Defendant has yet to answer the complaint or file any motions. On March 21, 2012, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), which allows a plaintiff to dismiss an action "without a court order" by filing "a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment." Although Plaintiff's notice effectively dismissed this matter, the court here confirms that dismissal for the sake of docket clarity. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned matter is DISMISSED in accordance with Rule 41(a)(1)(B).
