IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EL DORADO DIVISION

JERRY D. GINYARD PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 1:24-cv-1004

WEST FRASER, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss. ECF No. 10. Plaintiff states he has 

reached a settlement with Defendant and that all issues in this matter are resolved. Plaintiff 

requests that this matter be dismissed with prejudice, with each party bearing their own costs. 

Defendant did not sign onto Plaintiff’s motion. Thus, the Court must consider the motion 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) instead of Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). Rule 41(a)(2) 

states that “an action may be dismissed at the plaintiff’s request only by court order, on terms that 

the court considers proper.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). Defendant has not responded in opposition 

to Plaintiff’s motion, and the time to do so has passed.0F

1

 See Local Rule 7.2(b). Moreover, 

Defendant has not submitted to the Court any objection to Plaintiff’s assertion of a settlement. 

Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 10) should be 

and is hereby GRANTED. This matter is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, with each 

side bearing their own costs. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 29th day of July, 2024.
