ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO SEVER AND DISMISS

AS MOOT 

ORDER VACATING AUGUST 28,

2006 HEARING

(Document #13)

On May 17, 2006, Plaintiff Jagsir Singh Barr and Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser filed a

complaint for a declaratory judgment of naturalization. On July 14, 2006, Defendants filed a

motion to sever and dismiss Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser from this action. Defendants contended

that Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser’s application for naturalization is not derivative of Plaintiff Jagsir

Singh Barr’s application, and as such, Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser was misjoined in this action.

On August 2, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a notice of dismissal of Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser

pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On August 7, 2006, the court1

ordered Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser dismissed for this action without prejudice.

In light of Plaintiffs’ voluntary dismissal of Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser from this action,

Defendants’ motion to sever and dismiss Plaintiff Mohamed Nasser is now moot.
