May Plaintiff Unilaterally Dismiss Civil Suit 'Without Prejudice' After Trial Has Commenced?
In Case Where Mistrial Is Declared
U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio

ISSUE: After a trial has commenced in a civil lawsuit, does Ohio Civil Rule 41(A)(1)(a) permit the plaintiff to unilaterally dismiss his or her claims “without prejudice” (i.e., without the dismissal operating as a judgment on the merits against the plaintiff) when the court proceeding that was commenced resulted in a mistrial?
