UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEO CIENFUEGOS,

Plaintiff,

PEREZ, et al., 

Defendants.

No. 1:14-cv-00215-DAD-DLB (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST TO DISMISS ACTION AND 

CLOSING CASE

(Doc. Nos. 35 and 39)

Plaintiff Leo Cienfuegos (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se in 

this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants’ March 21, 2016, motion for summary 

judgment is pending. (Doc. No. 35.)

On June 9, 2016, plaintiff filed a request to withdraw this action, stating that he has now 

received the relief he sought. (Doc. No. 39.) Defendants were ordered to inform the court 

whether they objected to a dismissal of this action within ten (10) days, as a dismissal would be 

without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). (Doc. No. 40.)

On June 20, 2016, defendants indicated that they do not object to plaintiff’s dismissal of 

this action. (Doc. No. 41.)
