ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

TO VOLUNTARILY DISMISS THIS ACTION

(Doc. 40) 

 John M. Wilson (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On January 1, 2007, this Court issued an Order dismissing the Complaint with leave to

amend. In that Order, the Court informed Plaintiff of the deficiencies of his Complaint and also

granted him leave to cure these deficiencies in an Amended Complaint or move for voluntary

dismissal. On February 20, 2007, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to Voluntarily

Dismiss his case. 

Rule 41(a)(2) provides that an action “shall not be dismissed at the plaintiff’s instance

save upon order of the court and upon such terms and conditions as the court deems proper.” 

Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(2). 

Here, Plaintiff alleges that he is unable to litigate this action at this time due to unforseen

circumstances. Although an Answer has been filed by the Defendants, the case is currently in the

discovery phase and there has been no objection by Defendants to the proposed dismissal.
