 2                           NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
 3
            WHEREAS, on July 20, 2018, Plaintiff initiated the above-captioned action (the
 4
      “Action”) by filing a complaint (the “Complaint”) against defendants Marathon Patent
 5
      Group Inc. (“Marathon”), Doug Croxall, Edward Kovalik, Christopher Robichaud, Richard
 6
      Tyler, AND Richard Chernicoff (collectively, the “Defendants”);
 7
            WHEREAS, no class of Marathon shareholders has been certified, and thus, the
 8
      dismissal of this Action will not prejudice the interests of other Marathon shareholders;
 9
            WHEREAS, no defendant in this Action has answered the Complaint or filed for
10
      summary judgment.
11
            NOW, THEREFORE, Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
12
      Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), Plaintiff Tony Ramirez (“Plaintiff”) hereby voluntarily dismisses
13
      this Action with prejudice.    Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41 allows plaintiffs to
14
      voluntarily dismiss an action without court order, subject to Rule 23(e) and any applicable
15
      federal statute, by notice of dismissal “before the opposing party serves either an answer or
16
      a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Voluntary dismissal
17
      without Court order is appropriate here because there is not a certified class under Rule 23,
18
      and Defendants have not filed an answer or a motion for summary judgment. See Fed. R.
19
      Civ. P. 23(e).
20
            ACCORDINGLY, Plaintiff states as follows:
21
            1.     Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), Plaintiff
22
      voluntarily dismisses the Action; and
23
            2.     The Action shall be dismissed with prejudice as to Plaintiff only.
