This matter is before me on Plaintiffs' Motion to Dismiss Certain Remaining Claims Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 41(a)(2) [Docket # 194] and Defendant Leonard Cohen's Response [Docket # 203]. This Court previously dismissed Plaintiffs' Third Claim for Relief (Interference with Prospective Business Advantage) (Against Cohen), Fifth Claim for Relief (Civil Extortion) (Against Cohen and John Doe Nos. 1-25), Sixth Claim for Relief (Civil Conspiracy) (Against Cohen and John Doe Nos. 1-25), and Seventh Claim for Relief (Colorado Organized Crime Control Act) (Against Cohen and John Doe Nos. 1-25) on December 12, 2006 [Docket # 131].
Defendant Cohen consents to granting the present motion. After reviewing the motion, the papers, and the case file, I conclude that dismissal with prejudice is appropriate in this case.

5. Plaintiffs' Ninth Claim for Relief (Declaratory Judgment) (Against Cohen and Lynch) is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Each party shall bear its own attorney fees and costs incurred with respect to this claim;
