TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colleen R. Lawless on 8/26/2026. In July 2026, Plaintiff filed a Complaint #1 and a subsequent Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss #8 , under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), before the Court conducted a Merit Review Screening. Rule 41(a)(1), permits dismissal of an action before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. Therefore, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to close this case. See Jenkins v. Village of Maywood, 506 F.3d 622, 624 (7th Cir. 2007) (noting that a stipulation of dismissal that meets the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) is effective when filed); see also Fed R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B)("Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the dismissal is without prejudice.").(KE)
