I.

Discussion

Plaintiff, Walter Curtis Moles ("Moles"), has filed this pro se ' 1983 action
alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights while he was a prisoner in
the White County Detention Center. Docs. 7 & 11.
Moles has recently filed a Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss this case "with
prejudice." Doc. 32 at 1. Defendants have filed a Response stating that they have
no objection to Moles's request. Doc. 33.
The Court advises Moles that a dismissal "with prejudice" means that he will
be forever barred from pursuing any of the claims asserted in this action. In
contrast, if Moles voluntarily dismisses his claims "without prejudice," he may be
able to, sometime in the future, reassert his claims in a new lawsuit. If Moles would
rather voluntarily dismiss this case, without prejudice, he must clearly state so in a
timely filed Objection to this Recommended Disposition.
II. Conclusion
IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT Moles's Motion to
Voluntarily Dismiss (Doc. 32) be GRANTED, and that this case be DISMISSED,
WITH PREJUDICE.
Dated this 29th day of November, 2017.
