DEFENDANT NATHANIEL FORD WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

Fed. Rules of Civ. Proc., Rule 41(a)

[Employment – Jury Demanded]

TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL:

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that while he believed, and believes, that the action was filed

and maintained in good faith and with cause (never frivolous) against Defendant Nathaniel

Ford, before this matter was removed by some defendants to federal court, Plaintiff had in fact

requested dismissal of Defendant Nathaniel Ford. However, this Court’s docket does not

reflect the fact that Nathaniel Ford has in fact previously been dismissed without prejudice;

therefore, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), Rule 41(a), Plaintiff hereby

gives notice of voluntary dismissal of Defendant Nathaniel Ford as follows:

Voluntary Dismissal.

(1) By the Plaintiff.

(A) Without a Court Order. Subject to Rules 23(e), 23.1(c), 23.2, and 66 and

any applicable federal statute, the plaintiff may dismiss an action without

a court order by filing:

Lopez v. C&CSF, et al. P004NOD

NOTICE OF DISMISSAL OF DEFENDANT

NATHANIEL FORD WITHOUT PREJUDICE - 2 -

(i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an

answer or a motion for summary judgment; or

(ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.

(B) Effect. Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the dismissal is

without prejudice. But if the plaintiff previously dismissed any federal – or

state – court action based on or including the same claim, a notice of

dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits.
