Treating the application as addressed to the Court’s power under Rule 15 or Rule 21 or its inherent power, the Court hereby GRANTS dismissal of all claims as against Defendant Raj Sinha without prejudice and with each party to bear their own costs and fees. See Kerr v. Compagnie de Ultramar, 250 F.2d 860, 864 (2d Cir. 1958); Harvey Aluminum, Inc. v. Ican Cyanamid Co., 203 F.2d 105, 108 (2d Cir. 1953), cert. denied, 345 U.S. 964.
