Background
The opinion lists six actions involving Srikanth Sreedhar: 25-CV-0407, 25-CV-0482, 25-CV-0522, 25-CV-0699, 25-CV-1853, and 25-CV-2213. On May 30, 2025, Sreedhar filed a motion to withdraw those actions. The opinion does not describe the claims or the underlying disputes.
Ruling
The court granted Sreedhar’s motion. It dismissed the six actions without prejudice under Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. A dismissal without prejudice generally does not bar refiling, although the opinion does not discuss any refiling requirements.
The court also denied without prejudice any other pending motion or request in the actions. It certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith and therefore denied permission to proceed without paying filing fees for an appeal.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the order.
