July 15, 2021 Filing 23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M.

July 15, 2021 Filing 22 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal #20 , which seeks to voluntarily dismiss without prejudice Defendants Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc. Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Hilton Garden Inns Management LLC (the "Hilton defendants") under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal #20 as a request for leave to amend the complaint under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping the Hilton defendants from the complaint, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the complaint. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint by 7/30/2021. For docket management purposes, the court strikes the Hilton defendants' motion to dismiss #7 and plaintiff's motion to strike #18 .
