ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS

TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S

NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro per and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983. On December 15, 2005, plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary

dismissal. 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 summary judgment. Because defendants have appeared in this action and have field a

motion for summary judgment, the Court requires a response from them regarding plaintiff’s notice

of dismissal.

Accordingly, within 10 days of this Order, defendants shall file a response to plaintiff’s

notice of voluntary dismissal.
