EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
PLAINTIFF
EXIGENCE LLC
v.
No. 4:10-cv-144-DPM
DAVID A. LITTLETON; and
ANDERSON MURPHY &
HOPKINSLLP
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
For good cause, Exigence' s motion to dismiss its complaint without
prejudice, Document No. 44, is granted. FED. R. CIV. P. 41(a)(2). The Court
imposes only one condition: if Exigence refiles its complaint, then it must
reimburse Littleton and his firm for any costs (as defined by Rule of Civil
Procedure 54) incurred in this case that Defendants must incur again in the
new case. FED. R. CIV. P. 41(d). The particulars of any reimbursement will be
decided on motion by the Court presiding over the re-filed case. The Court
concludes that most of the effort to date, especially as reflected in attorney's
fees, will, if necessary, be put to good use in any re-filed case. The Court
agrees that the nonsuit is the best way for all parties to stop the meter on this
litigation during the limited period of uncertainty about the underlying case.
So Ordered.
D.P. Marshall Jr.
