`Order of Dismissal
`The Plaintiff requests that the Court dismiss its claims against
`Defendants Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (“Hon Hai”), and Spreadtrum
`Communications USA, Inc. (“Spreadtrum”), consistent with Federal Rule of
`Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). (See Unopposed Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 131.) As
`indicated in the motion’s certificate of conferral, Defendant Hon Hai indicated
`that it agrees to the requested dismissal but opposes the entry of an order
`stating “that each party shall bear its own costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees.”
`(Mot. at 3.) After reviewing the motion, the record, and the relevant legal
`authorities, the Court finds the dismissal proper, but will not adopt the
`opposed terms. Accordingly, the Court grants the motion (ECF No. 131) and
`dismisses the Plaintiff’s claims against Defendants Hon Hai and Spreadtrum
`without prejudice. This case will remain open, as the Plaintiff continues to
`assert claims against the remaining Defendants.
`Done and ordered at Miami, Florida on February 6, 2023.
