UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELMER JACOB DE LEON,

Plaintiff,

vs.

WOFFORD, et al.,

Defendants

Case No. 1:15 cv 00179 AWI GSA PC

ORDER CLOSING CASE IN LIGHT OF 

VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

(ECF NO. 11)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On July 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without prejudice 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). No Defendant has been served in this 

action, and no Defendant has entered an appearance. A properly signed and filed dismissal 

under Rule 41(a)(1)(A) automatically terminates a case without the need for a court order. See

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1). Therefore, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), this case has terminated due 

to Plaintiff’s notice of voluntary dismissal.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall CLOSE this action in light 

of Plaintiff’s notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 14, 2015 

 SENIOR DISTRICT JUDGE
