ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Vision Bank’s Motion To Dismiss Count Two
(Accounting and Inspection) of Its Complaint (Doc. 40). Plaintiff has represented that Defendants
Louis J. Lanza, III and C.J. Minor do not oppose the motion. Upon consideration, Plaintiff’s motion
is due to be GRANTED pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See
Campbell v. Altec Indus., Inc., 605 F.3d 839, 841 n.1 (11th Cir. 2010) (holding that Rule 15, which
pertains to amendment of pleadings — not Rule 41, which pertains to dismissal of actions —
provides proper mechanism for plaintiff to drop claims that have survived summary judgment).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Vision Bank’s Motion To Dismiss Count Two
(Accounting and Inspection) of Its Complaint (Doc. 40) is GRANTED, and Count Two of Vision
Bank’s Complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice.
DONE and ORDERED this the 18th day of November 2011.
