ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

PURSUANT TO PLAINTIFF’S

NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL

(DOC 4)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983. 

On June 13, 2005, plaintiff filed a document entitled “Motion for Voluntary Dismissal

Without Prejudice.” In his motion, plaintiff states that he wishes to dismiss this action due to a

pending appeal. 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

motion for summary judgment. None of the defendants named in this action have been served with

the complaint, thus they have not filed an answer or other responsive pleading.
