Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

this action. 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

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED pursuant to Plaintiff’s notice of voluntary

dismissal and the Clerk of Court is directed to close the file in this action.
