ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ pro se motion [ECF No. 28] requesting that the Court
voluntarily dismiss this action, without prejudice. The time for responding has expired, and
Defendants have not filed a response. Because Defendants have answered the complaint,
dismissal at Plaintiffs’ request is possible only by a court order, on terms that the Court finds
proper. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2).
The Court finds that voluntary dismissal without prejudice is proper in this case, provided
that if this matter is refiled, Plaintiffs shall reimburse Defendant for any duplicative
expenses–that is, any expense that will be incurred twice as a result of the case being refiled.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion requesting voluntary dismissal
without prejudice [ECF No. 28] is GRANTED. This action is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE, conditioned upon Plaintiff’s payment of duplicative costs, if any, in the event this
case is refiled.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs have ten (10) days from the entry date of this

order in which to withdraw the motion for voluntary dismissal, in which case this order will be
vacated and the case reinstated.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 12TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2015.
