ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL; DIRECTING CLERK

TO REFUND FILING FEE

(Docket No. 4)

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 7, 2007, plaintiff wrote to the court

requesting the filing fee returned and this action dismissed. The Court construes

plaintiff’s request as a motion for voluntary dismissal and refund of his filing fee, as

plaintiff paid the $350.00 filing fee in full. 

Plaintiff’s motion to voluntary dismiss the instant action (Docket No. 4) is

GRANTED. The clerk is directed to refund plaintiff’s filing fee payment of

$350.00, as plaintiff’s complaint was never served on the defendant in this matter,

and to forward a copy of the refund statement to the clerk for docketing along with a
