ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss. (Doc. 24)

On July 24, 2012, Plaintiff filed the above-mentioned Motion to Dismiss, asking the

Court to dismiss his action for failure to state a claim against Defendant for which relief can

be granted. On the same day, Defendant Ryan filed a Response to Plaintiff’s Motion to

Dismiss, stating that he has no objection to Plaintiff’s request to dismiss this case. (Doc. 25)

The Court will construe Plaintiff’s Motion’s to Dismiss as a Notice of Dismissal made

pursuant to Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Pursuant to Rule 41(a)

(1)(A), a plaintiff, without a court order, may dismiss an action by “(i) filing a notice of

dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer of a motion for summary

judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.”

Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i) and (ii). The Court will construe Doc. 24 in conjunction with

Doc. 25 as substantially equivalent to a Rule 41(a) motion operating as a termination and

dismissal of Plaintiff’s action.
