ORDER DISMISSING ACTION, WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

[Doc. 3]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

Petitioner filed the instant action on August 4, 2005. On August 12, 2005, Petitioner filed

a notice to the Court indicating that he did not intend to file the instant action and requests that

the action be dismissed.

Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “an action may be

dismissed by the plaintiff without order of court (I) by filing a notice of dismissal at any time

before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment,

whichever first occurs.” Respondent has not made an answer in this action and no answer has

been filed. Accordingly, the action is DISMISSED, without prejudice, pursuant to Petitioner’s

request.

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
