IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

LEESENT STAPLETON PLAINTIFF

v. 3:04CV00394-WRW

CITY OF WEST MEMPHIS, ET AL. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending is Plaintiff’s pro se Motion for Voluntary Dismissal (Doc. No. 43). Defendants do

not object to the dismissal; however, Defendants’s counsel asks that Separate Defendant Jack

Washington be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

In Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. No. 40-42), Defendant notes that

Plaintiff has repeatedly stated that he had not complaints about any alleged action taken by Separate

Defendant Jack Washington. In fact, Defendant argues that at one point, Plaintiff was not even

aware that Mr. Washington had even been named as a Defendant. Although Plaintiff had legal

representation when he filed his Complaint, I will not dismiss Mr. Washington with prejudice. If,

in fact, he was wrongly named as a party, then Plaintiff can correct that matter if he chooses to refile.

Plaintiff’s Motion is GRANTED and his claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 22nd day August, 2006.
