UNION COUNTY, and

Defendants.

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss
Without Prejudice (Doc. No. 17). Defendants consent to this Motion.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) provides that an action may be dismissed at the
plaintiff’s request “by court order, on terms that the court considers proper.”
Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2), the Court accordingly ORDERS that the Motion to Voluntarily
Dismiss (Doc. No. 17) is GRANTED and Defendants’ Motion for Extension of Time to File
Dispositive Motions (Doc No. 18) is DENIED as moot.
This matter is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiffs shall have one
(1) year from the date of this Order to re-file its claims against Defendants. The provisions of the
Court’s Protective Order (Doc. No. 11) shall remain in effect during this time, except that the
parties need not return or destroy all Confidential documents at this time. If Plaintiffs do not re-file
their claims within one year, all Confidential documents must then be returned or destroyed
pursuant to the terms of the Protective Order. The Court retains jurisdiction over the parties and

Qualified Persons for the continued enforcement of the Protective Order and the enforcement of
this Order.
SO ORDERED.
