CIV. NO. 11-00302 SOM/RLP
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Pursuant to the oral request by Plaintiff June Lacuesta
to dismiss the Complaint, which the court treats as a notice of
dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, the court DISMISSES the action by Mr. Lacuesta
without prejudice.
Regarding Imelda Lacuesta’s claims, a case against
Defendants was never actually instituted by her, because she did
not sign the Complaint or any other document, and did not even
know she was named as a plaintiff.

Only Mr. Lacuesta signed the

Complaint, and, not being an attorney, he cannot sign documents
on behalf of Mrs. Lacuesta.

Mrs. Lacuesta represented to the

court that she knew nothing about the claims brought by her
husband against Defendants.

Claims by Mrs. Lacuesta having never

been properly before this court, and Mrs. Lacuesta having
indicated she does not wish to proceed, the court DISMISSES this

action without prejudice to the extent it was brought in Mrs.
Lacuesta’s name.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: Honolulu, Hawaii, January 31, 2012.
