A plaintiff filed a complaint in state court based on a negligence claim arising from an accident. Before the defendant responded to the complaint, the plaintiff voluntarily filed a notice of dismissal. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed a complaint in federal district court based on diversity jurisdiction, asserting the same claim. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue, and the court denied this motion. Before the defendant filed an answer to the complaint, the plaintiff again voluntarily filed a notice of dismissal. Can the plaintiff later pursue this claim through an action filed in federal court

The defendant files an Answer to the Complaint. If the defendant wants to make a claim against the plaintiff a Counterclaim may be filed as well.

the numbers are even higher.
