UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NICHOLAS PATRICK,

Plaintiff,

v.

REYES, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:15-cv-01790-LJO-MJS (PC)

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF ACTION

(ECF No. 22)

CLERK TO TERMINATE ALL PENDING 

MOTIONS AND CLOSE CASE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 3, 2016, Plaintiff filed a 

notice of voluntary dismissal. (ECF No. 22.) 

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), a plaintiff may dismiss an 

action without a court order by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party 

serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff’s October 3, 2016 

notice is sufficient under Rule 41.

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Plaintiff’s 

notice of voluntary dismissal. The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and CLOSE 

this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 28, 2016 /s/ Lawrence J. O’Neill _____
