Therein, Plaintiff voluntarily dismisses all his claims in this action against Defendant Aligned Bayshore Raw Bar, LLC. Id. at 1. Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a claim by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Here, the Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal was filed before the opposing party served either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. #22 at 1. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Voluntary Dismissal, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the above-styled cause is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as to Defendant Aligned Bayshore Raw Bar, LLC.

January 27, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 23 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Defendant Coconut Grove F&B, LLC's ("Defendant") Unopposed Motion to Vacate Default. #21 . On January 18, 2023, Plaintiff moved for a Clerk's Entry of Default against Defendant, #15 , which the Clerk of Court granted. #16 . Now, Defendant request that the Court set aside the Clerk's Entry of Default. #21 .Pursuant to Rule 55(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a court has discretion to set aside an entry of default for "good cause." See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c). "Good cause" is "a liberal [standard]--but not so elastic as to be devoid of substance." See Compania Interamericana Export-Import, S.A. v. Compania Dominicana de Aviacion, 88 F.3d 948, 951 (11th Cir. 1996) (citation omitted). In evaluating good cause, courts consider whether the default was culpable or willful, the speed with which the defaulting party sought to correct the entry of default, and whether setting aside the default will prejudice the adversary. See SEC v. Johnson, 436 F. App'x 939, 945 (11th Cir. 2011).Here, the Court finds good cause to vacate the entry of default. First, Defendant's default was not culpable or willful, and was the result of good faith confusion. #21 at 1-2. Second, Defaulting Defendants quickly sought to correct the entry of default after receiving notice. Id. Finally, Plaintiff does not oppose setting aside default. Id. at 2. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion #21 , the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion to Vacate Default #21 is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is INSTRUCTED to VACATE the Clerk's Entry of Default against Defendant Coconut Grove F&B, LLC. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 1/27/2023. (rfr)
