MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Notice of Dismissal (Doc.14) pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i) filed by plaintiff USA. 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 defendant Melinda J. Ebel has 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 the claims against
defendant Melinda J. Ebel are DISMISSED without prejudice and DIRECTS the Clerk of
Court to close this case.
DATED: June 2, 2014
