REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION1 THAT: (1) PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST DEFENDANT TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS, LP ("TFP") (DOC. 46), AS WELL AS TFP'S MOTION IN THAT REGARD (DOC. 47), BE GRANTED; (2) ALL CLAIMS AGAINST DEFENDANT TFP BE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; AND (3) TFP'S MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS (DOC. 45) BE DENIED AS MOOT

This civil case is before the Court on the motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by Defendant Tyco Fire Products, LP ("TFP"). Doc. 45. Plaintiff did not file a memorandum in opposition to TFP's motion and, instead, moved to voluntarily dismiss all claims against TFP without prejudice. Doc. 46. TFP does not oppose Plaintiff's motion for voluntary dismissal and, instead, now moves the Court to grant Plaintiff's motion and to, therefore, dismiss all claims against it without prejudice. Doc. 47.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned RECOMMENDS that: (1) Plaintiff's unopposed motion to voluntarily dismiss all claims against TFP (doc. 46), as well as TFP's motion in that regard (doc. 47), be GRANTED; (2) all claims against TFP be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 212; and (3) TFP's motion for judgment on the pleadings (doc. 45) be DENIED AS MOOT. This recommendation does not dispose of the case in its entirety and Plaintiff's claims against other Defendants remain pending.
