MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff’s motion to dismiss (Doc.19), which the
Court construes as a notice of dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(a)(1)(A)(i). 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 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 this case is
DISMISSED with prejudice and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to close this case.

DATED: November 12, 2019
