Plaintiff D622888 and Defendants F2FE444, 8B282BC, and D212B21 have jointly filed a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal dismissing the claims against these three Defendants with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(ii). A plain reading of Rule 41(a) suggests that dismissal under this rule should be used only to dismiss an entire action, rather than a particular claim or defendant. See Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) (Rule 41(a) is "limited to dismissal of an entire action" and Rule 15(a) is the proper vehicle for "adding or dropping parties and claims"). While the Court acknowledges the plain reading of the rule, it finds that dismissing Defendants F2FE444, 8B282BC, and D212B21, rather than ordering amendment of the complaint, is in the interest of judicial economy considering summary judgment motions on the merits are currently pending. See Jose-Nicolas v. Berry, No. 15-CV-964-NJR-DGW, 2018 WL 1466769, at *4 (S.D. Ill. Mar. 2, 2018) (recognizing that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure "are not all encompassing" (citing Dietz v. Bouldin, 136 S. Ct. 1885, 1891 (2016)). Accordingly, the claims against Defendants F2FE444, 8B282BC, and D212B21 are DISMISSED with prejudice. The 171 Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Defendants F2FE444, D212B21, and 8B282BC is DENIED as MOOT. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 2/19/2021.
