Thomas v. Sears, Roebuck & Co.

Filing 8

ORDER DISMISSING CASE Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

CHARLES THOMAS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 12-10372

SEARS, ROEBUCK, AND CO.,
Defendant.
/
ORDER OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
Plaintiff initiated this action on January 27, 2012, and Defendant has yet to
answer the complaint or file any motions. On March 21, 2012, Plaintiff filed a notice of
voluntary dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), which allows a
plaintiff to dismiss an action “without a court order” by filing “a notice of dismissal before
the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment.”
Although Plaintiff’s notice effectively dismissed this matter, the court here confirms that
dismissal for the sake of docket clarity. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned matter is DISMISSED in accordance
with Rule 41(a)(1)(B).
