IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS
STEVEN J. WOOD,
Plaintiff,
v.
No. 20-2222-SAC-KGG
SAFECO INSURANCE COMPANY
OF AMERICA, and SHERYL A. KELLEY,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On July 2, 2021, this court entered an order that would grant the
plaintiff Steven J. Wood’s (“Wood’s”) motion for voluntary dismissal (ECF# 50) on
certain terms unless he withdrew his motion by July 14, 2021. ECF# 69. Wood filed a
response on July 14, 2021, effectively accepting the court’s stated terms. ECF# 71.
His response also offers his understanding of the court’s stated terms. His
understanding does not create any material dispute or disagreement over the court’s
imposed term that just as the parties agreed in the Colorado case, all discovery
conducted and completed in the Kansas case shall be used in the Colorado case, thus
not repeated, but only as allowed by the court in Colorado. Wood also acknowledges
that dismissal here includes that his independent tort claim of spoliation under Kansas
law as asserted in Count VIII is dismissed with prejudice. The court’s term of dismissal
with prejudice extends to no other asserted claims in this case.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the court’s order of July 2, 2021,
granting Wood’s motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice (ECF# 50) hereby
takes effect on the terms stated therein and summarized again above as Wood did not
1
withdraw his motion by July 14, 2021, but effectively accepted the court’s stated
terms in his response (ECF# 71).
Dated this 15th day of July, 2021, Topeka, Kansas.
