UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MANUEL LEE MACIAS HUNT,

Petitioner,

v.

JOHN S. SOMERS, et al.,

Respondents.

No. 1:16-cv-00212-DAD-MJS (HC)

ORDER CLOSING CASE

(Doc. No. 9)

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On March 23, 2016, petitioner filed a motion to withdraw, without prejudice, his petition 

for writ of habeas corpus. (Doc. No. 9.) Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

41(a)(1)(A)(i), a petitioner may voluntarily dismiss an action without prejudice. See Rule 12, 

Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases (“The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent that 

they are not inconsistent with any statutory provisions or these rules, may be applied to a 

proceeding under these rules.”). Respondents have not filed any responsive pleadings in this 

action. In light of this, this case has terminated, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i); Wilson v. City 

of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997), and has been dismissed without prejudice.
