filing a notice of dismissal at any time before service by the

adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment,

whichever occurs first.” Unless otherwise stated in the notice,

the dismissal is without prejudice. Id.

The court construes plaintiff’s “motion” as a notice of

dismissal. Defendants have served neither an answer nor a

dispositive motion.

Accordingly, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(i), this

action is dismissed without prejudice.

So ordered.
