The United States has represented to the Court that, upon dismissal of
any FTCA claims, “the United States would be willing to stipulate with Ms.
Pollard that, on condition that she will not appeal the dismissal, the United
States will voluntarily dismiss its counterclaim against her without
prejudice, so that this action can be dismissed and she can proceed on her
claims against the City of Philadelphia in the Court of Common Pleas for
Philadelphia County.” (Doc. No. 10). Plaintiff replied that she “is agreeable
with the proposed recommendation” of the United States. (Doc. No. 11). The
Court will consider the stipulation and notice of voluntary dismissal when
these documents have been filed.
