UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD DEUTSCH,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. ENENMOH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:13-cv-00504 LJO DLB PC

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF THE 

COURT TO CLOSE THIS CASE 

PURSUANT TO PLAINTIFF=S NOTICE OF 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

[ECF No. 18]

Plaintiff Donald Deutsch is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his complaint on 

April 8, 2013.

On July 14, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(i). At this stage in the proceedings, Plaintiff has the absolute right to 

dismiss his claims, without prejudice. Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, L.L.C. v. Davis, 267 

F.3d 1042, 1049 (9th Cir. 2001). Filing a notice of dismissal with the court automatically 

terminates the action, and the Court no longer has jurisdiction over the claims. Id.; Concha v. 

London, 62 F.3d 1493, 1506 (9th Cir. 1995).
