Background
On December 27, 2023, the court received a filing from Adam Strege labeled a “motion to dismiss.” In that filing, Strege said that he wanted to withdraw his complaint against Uranium One and the other defendants.
Ruling
The court granted Strege’s request to withdraw the action. It dismissed the action without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), meaning the dismissal did not bar refiling. The order closed the case.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to proceed without paying the required fees for an appeal. The court did not reach the merits of Strege’s claims.
