Respondents. ORDER

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On April 22, 2010, the court issued findings and

recommendations, recommending that this action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to

file an amended petition. On May 12, 2010, petitioner moved to voluntary dismiss this action. 

Respondents have not filed any objections. The court will therefore honor petitioner’s request

for voluntary dismissal. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The court’s April 22, 2010 findings and recommendations (Doc. No. 9) are

vacated; and
