UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Barry Louis Lamon is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

Now pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss this action against 

Defendant Cohen, filed February 5, 2015. (ECF No. 117.) 

Previously, this Court granted Defendant Cohen’s motion to quash service of the summons and 

complaint, by and through special appearance by the Office of the Attorney General. (ECF Nos. 109, 

115.) Plaintiff was granted thirty days from December 23, 2014, to provide further information for 

service of the summons and complaint on Defendant Doctor Cohen. (ECF No. 115.) 

Because Defendant Cohen has not filed an answer or a motion for summary judgment, Plaintiff 

has the absolute right to dismiss him from this action and the Court will direct the Clerk=s Office to 

terminate him as a party. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i); Pedrina v. Chun, 987 F.2d 608, 609-610 (9th 

Cir. 1993).
