UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

GARY FRANCIS FISHER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNKNOWN, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:14-cv-1925 KJM AC P 

ORDER 

 On December 18, 2014, the undersigned issued Findings and Recommendations that 

recommended that plaintiff be barred from proceeding in forma pauperis because of the “three 

strikes” provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). ECF No. 31. However, on the same day, plaintiff 

filed a document stating “I close this case under 41(a)(1) no IFPs. I do not have that right to 

receive ‘IFPs,’” which the court interprets to be a voluntary dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). 

ECF No. 33. Accordingly, pursuant to the voluntary dismissal, the case was closed on December 

23, 2014, and the Findings and Recommendations were not adopted or otherwise acted upon. 

ECF No. 34. 

 On December 29, 2014, plaintiff filed a “Motion to be excused of the 3 strike provision.” 

ECF No. 35. However, since plaintiff has already voluntarily dismissed this case, and the 

Findings and Recommendations were not adopted or otherwise acted upon, there is nothing from 

which plaintiff can be “excused.”
