United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NICKIE ALLEN DONALD,

Plaintiff,

v.

C. CROSS,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-03569-WHO (PR) 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Pursuant to plaintiff Nickie Donald’s letter asking to dismiss this action, which the 

Court construes as a motion for voluntary dismissal (Docket No. 20), this federal civil 

rights action is dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); Hamilton v. Shearson-Lehman 

American Exp. Inc., 813 F.2d 1532, 1534-1536 (9th Cir. 1987). The dismissal is without 

prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1). 

The order of service (Docket No. 16) is VACATED. The parties are relieved of the 

obligations that order imposed. 

Donald asks that the Court not continue to withdraw money from his account to pay 

the filing fee. This request is DENIED. Payment of the full filing fee is required of the 

party who institutes the action, even if the party is proceeding in forma pauperis and the 

full amount of the filing fee has not been paid before the action is dismissed. 28 U.S.C. §§ 

1914; 1915(b)(1). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 27, 2015
