IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

HOT SPRINGS DIVISION

BILL J. WARD PLAINTIFF

VS. CASE NO. 06-CV-6052

ENTERGY CORPORATION DEFENDANT

ORDER

Before the Court is a Motion to Dismiss filed on behalf of Entergy Corporation. (Doc.

No. 3). The Plaintiff has filed a response. (Doc. No. 6). The matter is ripe for consideration. 

Entergy Corporation seeks dismissal of this action on the grounds that the Plaintiff cannot

maintain an action against it because Entergy has no employees in Arkansas and, therefore, was

not the Plaintiff’s employer. Plaintiff has responded stating that if Entergy Corporation was not

his employer he does not intend to pursue this matter against Entergy. Plaintiff then requests that

Entergy’s Motion to Dismiss be granted without prejudice and that he not be required to pay

Entergy’s fees and costs in this matter. Upon consideration, the Court finds that the Motion to

Dismiss should be and hereby is granted. The Plaintiff’s Complaint against Entergy

Corporation is hereby dismissed without prejudice. Entergy’s request for its costs and fees in this

matter is hereby denied. 

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 6 day of March, 2007. th
