September 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 80 ORDER regarding Plaintiffs' Motion to Dismiss Specified Defendants Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) Without Order (Doc. 79). On August 14, 2023, the Court entered a Case Management Order (Doc. 29) that set an all-party Status Conference to discuss a briefing schedule on Plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction and a date for an evidentiary hearing. The Status Conference was subsequently reset due to the fact that only 5 of the 21 Individual Defendants had been served in the case and no Individual Defendant had entered an appearance through counsel. (Doc. 72). That was still the case when the Status Conference was held on September 5, 2023. Therefore, at that time, the Court, without objection from Defendants, "allow[ed] Plaintiff[s] 7 days within which to file an Amended Complaint." (Doc. 74). Now, apparently in response to that allowance, Plaintiffs have filed the instant Motion to Dismiss, wherein Plaintiffs seek to dismiss 20 of the Individual Defendants who have not answered or otherwise pled in this case. However, the Seventh Circuit has made clear that the proper vehicle for adding or dropping individual parties or claims is an amended complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a); Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857-58 (7th Cir. 2015); accord Dr. Robert L. Meinders, D.C., Ltd. v. United Healthcare Servs., Inc., 7 F. 4th 555, 559 n. 4 (7th Cir. 2021) ("[W]e again remind parties and district courts that Rule 15(a) is the better course for voluntarily dismissing individual parties or claims."). Accordingly, the Motion to Dismiss at Doc. 79 is DENIED. Plaintiffs are once again allowed leave to file an Amended Complaint within 7 days. A Status Conference remains scheduled for October 5, 2023, at 3:00 PM. Signed by Judge David W. Dugan on 9/13/2023. (jnh)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
