CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 18-301-JWD-EWD

TIMOTHY HOOPER, ET AL.
RULING
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification (R. Doc. 7), in which Plaintiff
requests that this Court clarify whether Plaintiff’s dismissal was with or without prejudice. This
Court declines to clarify the Ruling (R. Doc. 6) that is the subject of the Motion. However, the
Court does notify Plaintiff that the effect of a dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(a)(1)(A) is as follows: “[u]nless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the dismissal is
without prejudice. But if the plaintiff previously dismissed any federal- or state-court action based
on or including the same claim, a notice of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits.”
Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification (R. Doc. 7) be and is hereby
DENIED.
Signed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on May 23, 2019.
