ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF

COURT TO TERMINATE ACTION AND

TERMINATING PENDING MOTIONS

Pursuant to the document entitled, "Motion to Dismiss," which will be construed as a notice

of voluntary dismissal of this action filed by Plaintiff on February 22, 2010, this action is terminated. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i) ("[A]n action may be dismissed by the plaintiff without order of

the court . . . by filing a notice of dismissal."); Hamilton v. Shearson-Lehman Am. Exp. Inc., 813

F.2d 1532, 1534-1536 (9th Cir. 1987) (Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) does not require leave of court to dismiss

the action). The dismissal is without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B) (unless plaintiff's

notice of dismissal states otherwise, it is deemed to be "without prejudice"); Humphreys v. United

States, 272 F.2d 411, 412 (9th Cir. 1959).

The Clerk of the Court shall terminate all pending motions as moot (docket no. 5) and close

the file. 

This Order terminates Docket nos. 5 and 9.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
