On September 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a “Notice of Settlement and Request for Dismissal,” in
which he requests that the Court issue an order dismissing the entire complaint with prejudice. Doc. 9 at
1. Because Defendant had already answered, Doc. 5, the Court will construe Plaintiff’s filing as a notice
of voluntary dismissal brought under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2), which permits the Court to dismiss an
action on a plaintiff’s request “on terms that the court considers proper.” Here, Defendant has had ample
time to object to dismissal and has not done so. Accordingly, the Court concludes that dismissal with
prejudice is appropriate. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE THIS CASE.

IT IS SO ORDERED
20 Dated: September 22, 2015
