DATED: September 8, 2015 /s/ RUDY LOZANO, Judge United States District Court 1 Voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2) is allowed at the district court’s discretion, which is abused only when a defendant has shown that he will suffer “plain legal prejudice” if dismissal is granted. See Tyco Laboratories, Inc. v. Koppers, Co., 627 F.2d 54, 56 (7th Cir. 1980). Here, there has been no such showing, and the Court finds that dismissal is appropriate. See e.g. Kunz v.
