CIVIL ACTION NO. 18-301-JWD-EWD
05-23-2019
CORNELIUS LORENZO WILSON (#356241) v. TIMOTHY HOOPER, ET AL.
RULING
Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Clarification (R. Doc. 7), in which Plaintiff requests that this Court clarify whether Plaintiff's dismissal was with or without prejudice. This Court declines to clarify the Ruling (R. Doc. 6) that is the subject of the Motion. However, the Court does notify Plaintiff that the effect of a dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A) is as follows: "[u]nless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the dismissal is without prejudice. But if the plaintiff previously dismissed any federal- or state-court action based on or including the same claim, a notice of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Clarification (R. Doc. 7) be and is hereby DENIED.
Signed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on May 23, 2019.
