Speerly v. General Motors — Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal of Certain Named Plaintiffs

Summary

Stipulation filed September 19, 2025 in Speerly v. General Motors LLC, Civil Action No. 2:19-cv-11044 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (ECF No. 342). Under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), the plaintiffs and General Motors agree to dismiss certain named plaintiffs’ claims without prejudice, each side bearing its own fees and costs. The listed plaintiffs drop their Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act claims (Count 1) and unjust enrichment claims (Count 2), most of them also drop fraudulent omission (Count 3), and a smaller group dismisses all remaining claims. Plaintiffs from Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee and Washington drop specific state express and implied warranty counts. The stipulation does not apply to other named plaintiffs or to claims not listed, and is signed by Theodore J. Leopold for the plaintiffs and by R. Allan Pixton, with permission.
