Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed this action on May 23, 2005 in the Sacramento Division of

this Court using a form Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, directed to the State Supreme Court. On

June 17, 2005, the Court noted that plaintiff was alleging violation of his civil rights by the

defendants. The Court also noted that the alleged violation occurred in Fresno County. 

Consequently, the Court designated this as a case filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and transferred

it to the Fresno Division of this Court. On June 27, 2005, plaintiff notified the Court that the filing

was in error and his May 23, 2005 filing was merely a courtesy copy of his habeas petition filed in

the California Supreme Court. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), an action may be dismissed by plaintiff by

filing a notice of dismissal before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for
