FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS LEE COOK

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-0758 GEB KJM P

vs.

MENTAL HEALTH OF

PLACER COUNTY JAIL,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. On July 12, 2006, this court

granted his request to proceed in forma pauperis and directed the Placer County Jail to withhold

the filing fee, in installments, from plaintiff’s trust account.

On July 28, 2006, an official from Placer County Jail informed the court that

plaintiff had been taken to state prison.

On August 16, 2006, plaintiff wrote to the court, asking to “squash” the remainder

of the filing fee. He also has requested that this action be dismissed. 

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a), plaintiff's request to dismiss shall be honored. 

Under these circumstances, the court will not serve an order on the prison to have the remainder

of the filing fee collected from plaintiff’s trust account.
