J. S. Woodford, et al.,

Defendants.

-oOoJanuary 28, 2005, plaintiff, a prisoner without counsel,

submitted a complaint without the filing fee or an application

for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. February 9, 2005, the

court gave plaintiff 30 days either to pay the filing fee or to

submit a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. March 7,

2005, plaintiff submitted the required papers. March 9, 2005,

the court made an amended order to reflect the correct filing fee

and, through clerical oversight, gave plaintiff time to pay the

filing fee or seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis. April 28,

2005, the court granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma

pauperis, found plaintiff stated a claim against some defendants

but not others and gave plaintiff time either to file an amended

complaint or to proceed with service of process on some

defendants.

May 9, 2005, plaintiff notified the court he believes he

never sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis because he

decided not to pursue this action.

Accordingly, the April 28, 2005, order is vacated. The

clerk of the court is directed to close this file.

So ordered.

Dated: July 12, 2005.
