THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

TAMMY L. PARKER PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:19-cv-00097-KGB

ESTEM PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is the status of this case. On February 6, 2019, plaintiff Tammy L. Parker, 

proceeding pro se, filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and a complaint against 

defendant eStem Public Charter Schools (“eStem”), alleging discrimination under Title VII of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq. (Dkt. Nos. 1, 2). Ms. Parker also filed a 

motion to appoint counsel, which the Court denied without prejudice (Dkt. Nos. 3, 4). eStem filed 

an answer on August 8, 2019 (Dkt. No. 6). On September 19, 2019, Ms. Parker filed a notice with 

the Court indicating that she is no longer interested in pursuing this case, which the Court construed 

as a motion for voluntary dismissal (Dkt. No. 8). The Court advised Ms. Parker that, in the context 

of Title VII claims, a dismissal without prejudice may operate in effect as a dismissal with 

prejudice and ordered Ms. Parker to file a written notice with the Court indicating whether she 

intended to proceed with her request for dismissal without prejudice of this action (Dkt. No. 10). 

On January 10, 2010, Ms. Parker filed a second notice with the Court in which she stated that she 

understood that her case would be dismissed and that she would be barred from refiling or pursuing 

a claim under Title VII in the future (Dkt. No. 11).

For good cause shown, the Court grants Ms. Parker’s request to dismiss her claims against 

eStem and dismisses this case without prejudice.
