IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THEODORE A. TOBIAS,

Plaintiff, CV F 07 1790 LJO WMW PC 

vs. ORDER DISMISSING ACTION 

U.S. BUREAU OF PRISONS, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action. This action was

initiated by civil complaint filed on December 10, 2007. On February 5, 2008, an order was

entered, directing the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to collect and

forward to the court the $350 filing fee from Plaintiff’s inmate trust account. Plaintiff is a federal

prisoner, and is not in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and

Rehabilitation. The order should have been directed to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. 

On February 29, 2008, Plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss this action without prejudice. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), Plaintiff may dismiss this action without

prejudice so long as a responsive pleading has not been filed. There has been no service of

process, and no defendant has entered an appearance. Plaintiff indicates that he seeks to stop all

withdrawals from his inmate trust account. Due to clerical error, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons has

not been directed to collect the filing fee from Plaintiff’s inmate trust account. Because Plaintiff

is voluntarily dismissing this action, the Court will not order the Bureau of Prisons to collect the

filing fee from Plaintiff’s trust account.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice

on Plaintiff’s motion. The Clerk is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
