ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

On May 18, 2010, plaintiff, a prisoner currently incarcerated at Kern Valley State Prison,

filed a “motion for adverse actions,” which the Clerk of the Court construed as a civil rights

complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. That same day, the Clerk sent plaintiff a notice that

plaintiff was required to either pay the $350.00 filing fee or file an application for in forma

pauperis in order to proceed with his action. The Clerk also sent plaintiff a notice that he was

required to file an actual complaint. 

On June 24, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion to withdraw his “motion for adverse actions,”

explaining that he “is unable to conduct required investigations of law and facts for the filing of

a formal” civil rights complaint and believed he was only submitting the underlying motion “for

this Honorable Court’s records.” 

The court construes plaintiff’s motion as a motion for voluntary dismissal of this action.

Plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss his complaint with or without order of this court. See Fed. R.

plaintiff’s notice of dismissal or the court order states otherwise, it is deemed to be “without

prejudice.” See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); 41(a)(2). As such, motion seeking voluntary dismissal

is GRANTED. This action is DISMISSED. The Clerk shall close the file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
