ORDER

Before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Reconsider Dismissal Without Prejudice

(doc. #69) and the Response (doc. #76). There is no need to await a reply. The Motion is

a timely motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 and the Court will treat it as such. Defendant had

filed her own Motion to Dismiss (doc. #64), which the Court had not seen when it granted

Plaintiff’s own motion for voluntary dismissal on October 27, 2009. In particular, in light

of the effort and expense Defendant has expended in defending this action, it was

inappropriate to allow Plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss this action without considering

Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss on the merits.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Reconsider Dismissal

Without Prejudice (doc. #69) is granted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Order of dismissal of October 27, 2009, (doc.

#63) is vacated, and this action is reinstated.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Order of October 27, 2009, (doc. #65) is

DATED this 22nd day of December, 2009.
