Plaintiff Bryce Moore filed his status report, explained that he had only recently received the annuity, filed a proof of receipt of annuity, stated that he was drafting a mutual dismissal, and alternatively requested that all of his claims be dismissed with prejudice. The Court is satisfied with this status report. Further, in light of the settlement and status report, the Court will grant minor-Plaintiff Bryce Moore's alternatively requested dismissal with prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(a)(2). Plaintiff James Moore, Jr. also has filed a status report. The report indicates that the insurance company had "specific language requirements" which has resulted in a delay. The signed settlement and release has been mailed, and upon receipt, the annuity contracts will issue. ) ) ) ) ) ) Plaintiffs, ) v. ) ) COUNTY OF KERN, et. al, ) ) Defendants. ) ) ____________________________________) ) AND RELATED CONSOLIDATED ) CASE AND CROSS-CLAIMS ) ____________________________________) JAMES W.
