Plaintiff Sierra Club, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, hereby dismisses all causes of action in the complaint as to defendants Donald

Rumsfeld, in his official capacity as the Secretary of the Department of Defense, and the

Department of Defense without prejudice.

The Sierra Club is dismissing this action because the relief sought by the Sierra

Club has recently been obtained. This action was brought to force the defendants to

submit to the Senate and House of Representative Committees on Armed Services a

report on the effects of windmill farms on military readiness. On September 28, 2006, the

Department of Defense submitted The Effect of Windmill Farms on Military Readiness

to the Congressional Defense Committees. Therefore, the relief sought by the Plaintiff

has been achieved.

Neither Donald Rumsfeld nor the Department of Defense has filed an answer to

the complaint or a motion for summary judgment. Dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1) is

therefore appropriate.

DATED: October 10, 2006 Respectfully submitted,
