 On August 11, 2023, defendant Daram filed a motion to partially dismiss the first 

amended complaint. ECF No. 33. The motion seeks dismissal of plaintiff’s request for punitive 

damages for his professional negligence claim and claim for damages against defendant in her

does not dispute the facts presented and does not object to the motion being granted. ECF No. 35. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. Plaintiff’s statement of non-opposition (ECF No. 35) is construed as a voluntary 

dismissal of his request for punitive damages for the professional negligence claim against 

defendant Daram and his claim for damages against Daram in her official capacity and the Clerk 

of the Court is directed to update the docket accordingly. 

2. Plaintiff’s claims for punitive damages for the professional negligence claim and for 

damages against defendant Daram in her official capacity are accordingly DISMISSED; and
