Background
On May 30, 2025, Plaintiff Srikant Sreedhar filed a motion to withdraw the action against Defendant Ravi Duvvuri.
Rulings
The court granted Sreedhar’s motion. It dismissed the action without prejudice under Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. A dismissal without prejudice does not bar a later filing based on the same matter. The court also denied without prejudice any other pending motion or request in the action.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying the filing fees.
Basis and Classification
The order resolved the case based on the plaintiff’s request to withdraw it and did not address the underlying claims. The opinion is therefore classified as a procedural order.
