This matter comes before the Court on sua sponte review of the docket. Plaintiffs filed their Motion to Dismiss State Law Claims without Prejudice (Doc. #73) on September 13, 2016. They then filed a Notice of Withdrawal of their Motion to Dismiss State Law Claims (Doc. #78) on September 30, 2016.

"A plaintiff wishing to eliminate particular claims or issues from the action should amend the complaint under Rule 15(a) rather than dismiss under Rule 41(a)." Binns v. Caesars Entm't Corp., No. 2:14-CV-506-FTM-38, 2014 WL 5378227, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Oct. 21, 2014) (quoting Klay v. United Healthgroup, Inc., 376 F.3d 1092, 1106 (11th Cir. 2004)). Because Plaintiffs cannot remove a single count from their Complaint without following the proper procedure, their Motion to Dismiss (Doc. #73) must be denied.

Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:

Defendants' Motion to Dismiss State Law Claims without Prejudice (Doc. #73) is DENIED.

DONE and ORDERED.
