IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

KENDALL MCCONNELL, Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 19–CV–00755–JPG

AISIN MFG. ILLINOIS, LLC, Defendant.

ORDER This is an employment dispute. Before the Court is Plaintiff Kendall KcConnell’s Motion to Dismiss Counts I and II Voluntarily. (ECF No. 30). [A]n action may be dismissed at the plaintiff’s request only by court order, on terms that the court considers proper. . . . Unless the order states otherwise, a dismissal under this paragraph . . . is without prejudice.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). This matter “is within the sound discretion of the district court.” See Kovalic v. DEC Int’l, Inc.,

(7th Cir. 1988). The plaintiff’s motion states that defense counsel “has no objection” to dismissal of Counts I and II of the Complaint. The Court therefore DISMISSES Counts I and II WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Only Count III remains. IT IS SO ORDERED.
