September 15, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on September 15, 2020. The parties have filed a #32 Joint Stipulation for Dismissal Without Prejudice as to Defendant McKesson Corporation which purports to dismiss this case against McKesson Corporation without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). The stipulation is not effective to dismiss the claims against McKesson Corporation. First, the stipulation is signed by "Attorneys for Plaintiff Dolores Hathaway" even though Johnetta Ateman is the plaintiff in this case. And second, the Seventh Circuit has explained that "Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action." Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015). Here, the parties are attempting to use Rule 41(a) to dismiss only one party. The Seventh Circuit suggests construing a voluntary dismissal of one party as a motion to amend the complaint under Rule 15(a)(2). Id. at 858. Rule 15(a)(2) allows a court to give a party leave to amend its complaint and provides that such leave should be "freely give[n]... when justice so requires." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Because the #32 stipulation is not signed by the appropriate parties, the Court will not construe it as a motion to amend. Instead, Plaintiff may file a motion to amend the complaint to omit any claims against McKesson Corporation. The proposed amended complaint should be attached as an exhibit to the motion. See CDIL-LR 7.1(F). (AK, ilcd)
September 11, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER granting #31 Motion to Withdraw as Attorney. Attorney Melissa Dorman Matthews; Jordan E Jarreau and Jessica Junek terminated as counsel in this matter. Entered by Magistrate Judge Jonathan E. Hawley on 9/11/20. (WG, ilcd)
