Based on previous rulings of this Court, the following claims remain pending in Case No.
2:09-cv-172: Plaintiff Craig Williamson’s claims for defamation and intentional interference
with a business relationship against Kevin Ware, Melanie Ware, American Mastiff Breeders
Council, LLC (“AMBC”), Sandy Berger, and Connie Hammond. The Court’s March 31, 2014
Opinion and Order directed Plaintiff to timely advise the Court as to whether he intends to
pursue the remaining claims. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), Plaintiff
moves for an order dismissing with prejudice his Complaint against the remaining Defendants
(Doc. 225 in Case No. 2:09-cv-172). Plaintiff asserts that he has reached settlement agreements
with Sandy Berger, Kevin Ware, and Melanie Ware, and that he does not intend to pursue his
claims against either Connie Hammond or the AMBC. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS

Plaintiff’s motion. Plaintiff’s remaining claims against Kevin Ware, Melanie Ware, the AMBC,
Sandy Berger, and Connie Hammond are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice. No claim
remains pending in this matter, and the Clerk shall enter final judgment.
The Clerk shall remove Document 225 in Case No. 2:09-cv-172 from the Court’s
