Case No. C 15-3965 PSG (PR)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION

TO DISMISS

(Re: Docket No. 9)

On August 31, 2015, Oscar Andres Lopez, proceeding pro se, filed a letter that was

construed as an intention to file a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. That same

day, the Clerk sent a notice to Lopez directing him to file a complaint within 28 days. Lopez

filed a motion requesting a copy of the documents he filed, and an extension of time within

which to file a complaint. The court granted the motion. Lopez has now filed a motion

requesting that this case be voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, and without assessment of a

filing fee because it was not his intention to file a formal complaint. 

A plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss his complaint with or without order of this court.1

Because no opposing party has been served, Lopez’s motion is GRANTED. Accordingly, this
