 O R D E R 

 Plaintiff Rick Alton Foley, who is currently confined in the Arizona State Prison 

Complex-Florence, brought this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. 

10). Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Notice and Requests of/for Possible

counsel, or in the alternative, to dismiss this case without prejudice (Doc. 73).

appointed, to have this action dismissed without prejudice. By separate Order, the

(Doc. 73). 

 Pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, an action may be 

dismissed at the plaintiff’s request by court order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B). The Court 

will grant Plaintiff’s request to dismiss this action without prejudice.
