MOTION to Dismiss

I guess the money for all of this litigation is starting to run low. e360 is cutting this lawsuit loose with a voluntary motion to dismiss WITH PREJUDICE (meaning that they cannot refile the case later if they change their minds).

Paragraph 2 is particularly telling in this regard. They're dismissing the case after settling with only one of the three parties, rather than dismissing against the one party they settled with and continuing against the other two.
