EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

RONDA SMITH PLAINTIFF

v. NO. 3:16-cv-00117 PSH

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner DEFENDANT

of the Social Security Administration

ORDER

Plaintiff Ronda Smith (“Smith”) has filed the pending motion to dismiss without

prejudice. See Document 6. In the motion, she represented the following:

On April 11, 2016, the Appeals Council denied [Smith’s] claim for

disability benefits and advised her to seek judicial review within 60 days if

she wished to appeal. [She] subsequently commenced this civil action, No.

3:16CV00117PSH. Subsequent to the commencement of the civil action,

[she] submitted new evidence to the Appeal Council. As a result, the

Appeals Council vacated its April 11, 2016, decision and issued a new

decision denying the claim again on May 13, 2016. In its May 13, 2016,

decision, the [Appeals] Council advised that [Smith] should file a civil

action within 60 days if she wished to appeal. [She] subsequently

commenced a civil action under No. 3:16CV00142JJV.

Since the Appeals Council vacated its April 11, 2016, decision which

was the subject of the civil action in No. 3:16CV00117PSH, [Smith] wishes

to dismiss this action without prejudice and proceed with her appeal under

case No. 3:16CV00142JJV.

See Document 6 at CM/ECF 1. [Emphasis in original].

dismiss, the motion is granted. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41. The complaint at bar is dismissed

without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 2nd day of June, 2016.
