UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VINCENT HAYES,

Petitioner,

v.

YOUNGBLOOD, et.al.,

Respondent.

 /

1:07-cv-01854 AWI DLB HC

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF

ACTION AND DIRECTING CLERK OF

COURT TO TERMINATE ACTION

[Doc. 7]

Petitioner is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. 

Petitioner filed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus on December 20, 2007. 

(Court Doc. 1.) On January 10, 2008, the Court directed Respondent to file a response to the

petition. (Court Doc. 5.) 

On January 24, 2008, Petitioner filed a motion to dismiss the instant petition because the

United States Parole Commission has given him an expedited revocation hearing and the pursuit

of the instant petition would result in a waste of the court’s time. (Court Doc. 7.) 

Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, "an action may be

dismissed by the [Petitioner] without order of court by filing a notice of dismissal at any time

before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment,

whichever first occurs, or (ii) by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have

appeared in the action. Unless otherwise stated in the notice of dismissal or stipulation, the

dismissal is without prejudice, . . . .” Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254

Cases, the "Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent that they are not inconsistent with

these rules, may be applied, when appropriate, to petitions filed under these rules."

At this time, although Respondent has been directed to file a response to the petition, the

answer is not yet due and has not been filed. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the petition BE

DISMISSED without prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
