On February 19, 2015, plaintiff Blount commenced this action against defendants

invoking the court's federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and
supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a). (ECF No. 41.)
Plaintiff's amended complaint seeks relief upon claims against defendants Zachary
Nicholay, Keith Major, Ezell T. Cody Jr., Nicholas Shelton, Erich VonNida, Matthew
Miller, Albert Napier, HBS, Co., Matthew Harmon, and Casino One Corporation. (Id.)
Now, by his voluntary motion to dismiss, plaintiff dismisses with prejudice his
claims against the following defendants with their consent: HBS Co. (aka Hudson
