The Court did not address the Counterclaim in this matter in its previous Order, as the

parties did not brief this issue. The Court requested that the Defendant clarify the status of this

issue and whether it intended to pursue its Counterclaim. Defendant filed its Notice of Voluntary

Dismissal in response to the Court’s request. 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

LINDA BRYANT PLAINTIFF 

 

v. CASE NO. 3:02-CV-0280 GTE

HARTFORD LIFE AND 

ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY DEFENDANT 

ORDER

Presently before the Court is Defendant’s Notice of Voluntary Dismissal of its Counterclaim1

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(c). The Court notes that the Notice of Voluntary

Dismissal contains only the signature of counsel for the Defendant. However, Plaintiff’s counsel

has informed the Court that Plaintiff stipulates to the dismissal of the Counterclaim. Therefore, the

Court grants Plaintiff’s Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss the Counterclaim. 

Accordingly,

 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss (Dkt. #39) be, and

it is hereby, GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Counterclaim be, and it is hereby, dismissed without

prejudice.

Dated this 20th day of March, 2007.
