IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
Plaintiff,
vs.

Case No. 12-cv-809-JPG

ERIK P. WIEDOWER, UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, KEEBLER OAKS
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, and
UNKNOWN OWNERS AND NON-RECORD
CLAIMANTS,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal (Doc. 13). Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A) provides that a plaintiff may dismiss an action without a
court order by filing a stipulation of dismissal or a notice of dismissal before the opposing party
answers. Here, defendant United States of America has stipulated to the dismissal. The
remaining defendants have not filed an answer. Because plaintiff has an absolute right to dismiss
this case, this case is DISMISSED. The Court further DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to close the
case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: December 19, 2012
