UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC LEBRON SPRINGS,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. PRINCE,

Defendant.

No. 1:23-cv-01192 GSA (PC)

ORDER DISREGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION TO AMEND

(ECF No. 9)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF COURT TO 

CLOSE CASE

(ECF No. 10)

Plaintiff, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil 

rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. Plaintiff’s Motion to 

Amend the Complaint, docketed October 10, 2023 (see ECF No. 9), is pending before this Court.

On November 22, 2023, Plaintiff’s Notice of Voluntary Dismissal pursuant to Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i) was docketed. ECF No. 10. In it, Plaintiff states he 

wishes to voluntarily dismiss this matter because he now realizes that the allegations in it are 

“nearly identical” to the ones he has raised in a different matter, Springs v. United States, No. 

1:23-cv-01493 CDB (PC). See ECF No. 10 at 1. Good cause appearing, Plaintiff’s motion to 

amend will be disregarded as moot, and the Clerk of Court will be directed to close this case 

pursuant to statute.
