MARION LEE CROSS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CHUCK ETCHISON; et al., 

Defendants.

No. 15-cv-3146 LB

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

[Re: ECF No. 18]

The court previously denied the plaintiff Marion Lee Cross’s request to postpone his civil-rights

lawsuit. (See 11/5/15 Order, ECF No. 17.1) In it, the court noted the “strong possibility” that the case

was in the wrong court, given that the defendant Chuck Etchinson may not be a state actor. (Id. at 2.)

The court told Mr. Cross that if he filed a one-page request for voluntary dismissal, the court would

dismiss his case without prejudice to his filing a lawsuit at another time, subject to any statute of

limitations. (Id. at 3.) Mr. Cross filed that request. (See ECF No. 18.) The court thus dismisses the

case without prejudice and directs the clerk of the court to close the file.
