On April2, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice under
Ru1e 41(a)(2) of the Federal Ru1es of Civil Procedure [D.E. 22]. On AprilS, 2013, defendant
''vehemently" objected to dismissal without prejudice and asserted that dismissal shou1d be

"WITH PREJUDICE." [D.E. 23] (emphasis in original).
Vehemence without a supporting argument is unilluminating. Bold and all caps add
nothing. The court expects more from the United States Department of Justice. Trial counsel for
the United States shall provide a copy of this order to the United States Attorney and the Chief of
the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney's office.
Plaintiff's motion [D.E. 22] is GRANTED. The action is DISMISSED without prejudice.
SO ORDERED.
