Park Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Hilton Garden Inns Management LLC (the "Hilton defendants") under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i).

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 .
