UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
WILLIAM ZEMLA,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 3:17-cv-00045-JPG-RJD

FRANKLIN COUNTY, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
J. PHIL GILBERT, DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff William Zemla has filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss defendants Sam Wink,
D. House, Leon Kehrer, and Ashley Crider from this matter with prejudice. (ECF No. 51.) Zemla
states that the defendants consent to the motion. Since the motion is not signed by all parties,
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) applies. That rule allows the Court to grant a motion to
dismiss at the plaintiff’s request on terms that the Court considers proper. Here, for good cause
shown, the Court GRANTS the plaintiff’s motion and DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE
defendants Sam Wink, D. House, Leon Kehrer, and Ashley Crider from this case. The Court
DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to terminate them as defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: FEBRUARY 7, 2019
