IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN D. BLACK, No. CIV S-06-0668-FCD-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

J. TUGGLE, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to

Eastern District of California local rules.

On June 8, 2007, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations herein

which were served on the parties and which contained notice that any objections to the findings

and recommendations were to be filed within 20 days. No objections to the findings and

recommendations have been filed. Rather, plaintiff has filed a motion to “withdraw the

complaint,” which the court construes as a request for voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 41. Because plaintiff consents to dismissal of this action, the court will

adopt the June 8, 2007, findings and recommendations. This dismissal, however, shall not count
