Date Filed Document Text
August 3, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 46 ENDORSED ORDER: Bonafide Properties filed a #45 Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. Although unspecified in the notice, the Court construes it as a notice of voluntary dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i) because no defendant has filed an answer or motion for summary judgment. As a result, this notice is self-executing. Matthews v. Gaither, 902 F.2d 877, 880 (11th Cir. 1990) ("The dismissal [under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i)] is effective immediately upon the filing of a written notice of dismissal, and no subsequent court order is required."). The Clerk is directed to terminate any deadlines and pending motions and to close this case. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/3/2021. (DMP)
