ORDER

On September 18, 2020, Plaintiff The Revocable Living Trust of Judith A. Dunn (“Plaintiff”) filed an agreed motion to dismiss stating that the parties have resolved their dispute. (Dkt. 62; see also Order, Dkt. 61 (ordering that, in light of the parties’ settlement, the parties shall file dismissal papers, or a joint status report, by September 18, 2020)). The Court construes the motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). Rule 41(a)(2) “allows plaintiffs to freely dismiss their suits, subject to court approval, provided the dismissal does not prejudice any party.” Templeton v. Nedllovd Lines,

(5th Cir. 1990). The district court has discretion to grant a Rule 41(a)(2) motion to dismiss. Manshack v. Sw. Elec. Power Co.,

(5th Cir. 1990). Generally, motions for voluntary dismissal should be freely granted, unless the non-moving party can show it would suffer some plain legal prejudice. Elbaor v. Tripath Imaging, Inc.,

In light of the parties’ settlement and agreement to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims against Edwin Smith and Ranene Smith without prejudice, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to dismiss, (Dkt. 62), is GRANTED.
