Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
HARRISON L. WINTER, Chief Judge:
Plaintiff, S.A. Andes, appeals from an order of the district court which “granted” his motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice under Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but specified that the dismissal was with prejudice as to both defendants. Andes contends on appeal that the district court abused its discretion in effectively denying the Rule 41(a)(2) motion to dismiss, and that it further abused its discretion in dismissing with prejudice. Andes seeks a reversal and remand with instructions to dismiss without prejudice.
