` Plaintiff,
`v.
`CHRIMAR SYSTEMS INC.
`D/B/A CMS TECHNOLOGIES,
` Defendant.
`
`Case No. 2:15-cv-10817-AC
`Honorable Avern Cohn
`
`NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF ACTION
`WITHOUT PREJUDICE PURSUANT TO FRCP 41(a)(1)(A)(i)
`
`Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
`
`Plaintiff Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”), by and through its attorneys, hereby gives
`
`notice that the above-captioned action against ChriMar Systems Inc. d/b/a CMS
`
`Technologies is hereby voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. This action is
`
`voluntarily dismissed without prejudice so that certain of the claims asserted herein
`
`can be re-filed in a consolidated amended complaint to be filed in Cisco Sys., Inc.
`
`v. ChriMar Sys., Inc., 2:17-cv-13770-AC-RSW (E.D. Mich.), and to drop Cisco’s
`
`requests for declaratory judgement of invalidity so that Cisco is free to pursue, if
`
`warranted, inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings challenging the validity of the
`
`patents at issue in those cases (numerous claims of which have already been found
`
`to be invalid in other IPR proceedings).
