WHITEDS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 1:18-cv-1017

FT. WORTH T E G, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Motion For Dismissal. (ECF No. 19). The Court finds that no response is necessary and that the matter is ripe for consideration. On March 8, 2019, the parties filed the instant motion, asking the Court to dismiss this case with prejudice, with each party bearing its own costs. Although the parties do not specify what Federal Rule of Civil Procedure they move under, the Court construes the instant motion as a Rule 41 motion. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41 governs the dismissal of actions. An action may be dismissed by court order at the plaintiff’s request, on terms the court considers proper. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). “Voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2) should not be granted if a party will be prejudiced by the dismissal.” Adams v. USAA Cas. Ins. Co.,

863 F.3d 1069, 1079

(8th Cir. 2017). Upon consideration, the Court finds that good cause has been shown for the motion and that no party will be prejudiced by the dismissal of this case. Accordingly, the Court finds that the parties’ joint motion (ECF No. 19) should be and hereby is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s complaint is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Each party shall bear its own costs. IT IS SO ORDERED, this 11th day of March, 2019. /s/ Susan O. Hickey Susan O. Hickey Chief United States District Judge
