Rule 41. Dismissal of Actions
(a) Voluntary Dismissal.
(1) By the Plaintiff.
(A) Without a Court Order. Subject to Rules 23(e), 23.1(c), 23.2 and 66
and any applicable federal statute, the plaintiff may dismiss an action
without a court order by filing:
(i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an
answer or a motion for summary judgment; or
(ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared.
(B) Effect. Unless the notice or stipulation states otherwise, the
dismissal is without prejudice. But if the plaintiff previously
dismissed any federal- or state-court action based on or including the
same claim, a notice of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the
merits.

Interesting effect... it appears to me that on next Voluntary Dismissal
(recent cases 07-CV-10456 and 07-CV-10455) the game will be over for
plaintiffs. Collateral estoppel and all that. Correct? Hey rjack, ping.
:-)
regards,
alexander.
