UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
TIG INSURANCE COMPANY,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 13-cv-10-JPG-PMF

THE DIOCESE OF BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS,
RAYMOND KOWNACKI, JOHN DOE S. and
JOHN DOE S.W.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Notice of Voluntary Dismissal (Doc. 13)
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i) filed by plaintiff TIG Insurance
Company. Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) allows a plaintiff to dismiss an action without a court order at any
time before the opposing party serves an answer or a motion for summary judgment. The
defendants have not served an answer or motion for summary judgment in this case. Because the
plaintiff has an absolute right to dismiss this case at the present time, the Court finds that this
action is DISMISSED without prejudice and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: April 22, 2013
