- ilnd;;1:20-cv-07115_de6 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff wishes to dismiss its with prejudice its claims against one but not all of the defendants in this case. It proposes to sever the claims against that defendant--in other words, make those claims into a separate case--and then dismiss it. The Court questions the appropriateness of a severance under the applicable rules and wonders why plaintiff wishes to proceed in what seems to be the hard way rather than the much easier and common mechanism--a stipulation between plaintiff and the particular defendant for dismissal of the claims against that defendant, something that is done basically every day of the week in this courthouse and elsewhere. The Seventh Circuit case cited by plaintiff concerns only voluntary dismissal by the plaintiff alone and has no bearing on stipulated dismissals of particular claims or defendants. Plaintiff is directed to file a revised motion or a supplement explaining why the Court's suggested mechanism cannot be used. (mk) (Entered: 12/11/2020)" @default.
