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 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 that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice
and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to close this case.
DATED: November 30, 2018
