ORDER

This action is presently before the court on the motion to dismiss certain parties filed

by plaintiff Ann Hetrick on July 28, 2006 (Doc. # 4). The Rules of Civil Procedure permit

a plaintiff to dismiss her action voluntarily without an order of the court “by 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 first occurs.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(I). At the time

plaintiff's motion was filed, no defendant had appeared in this action.1

 Accordingly, the court

construes the motion to dismiss as a Notice of Dismissal without prejudice pursuant to Rule

41(a)(1)(i) as to the claims of plaintiff against defendants Gene Brannon, Paul Fondren, Eria

Sorrells, Fred Goyings, Harold King, and Jeff Sorrells.

DONE, this 1st day of August, 2006.
