Case No. 4:16 CV 1154 CDP

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On July 18, 2016, I ordered plaintiffs to show cause whether plaintiffs
J.T.B.L. and A.M.D.B.L. had also filed an earlier lawsuit assigned to me, Case No.
4:14CV907 CDP. This case was directly assigned to me because of these common
plaintiffs. In response, plaintiffs J.T.B.L. and A.M.D.B.L. acknowledged that they
are also plaintiffs in 4:14CV907 CDP and they move to voluntarily dismiss their
claims in this lawsuit. [22, 23]. I will grant plaintiffs leave to dismiss their claims.
Plaintiffs J.T.B.L. and A.M.D.B.L. having dismissed their claims, this case should
not have been directly assigned to me. Therefore, I will direct the Clerk of the
Court to randomly reassign this case, including me within the random draw.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the notices of voluntary dismissal [22, 23]
are granted, and plaintiffs J.T.B.L.’s and A.M.D.B.L.’s claims are dismissed

without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall randomly
reassign this case, including me within the random draw.
