Want to know:
Mary was sailing her yacht on the lake one day. Hannah and Amy were also out sailing that day in pirate ships. They had both accumulated a large supply of 17th and 18th century cannons over the years and thought it would be fun to try them out. Both opened fire on Mary, crippling the yacht. Mary swam to shore, contacted her lawyer, and then sued them both for lake piracy, a new state law tort. Hannah and Amy filed an answer denying liability and a 12(b)(2) motion seeking dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction. Mary seeks voluntary dismissal so she can find a jurisdiction Hannah and Amy can be sued in. Amy agrees to stipulate to dismissal without prejudice. True or false, Mary can voluntarily dismiss without prejudice under Rule 41(a)(1).

After getting released, he sues New York City for racial discrimination under New York law in New York state court, alleging that all those subject to the "interrogate and hold" program were Arab Muslims.
