No. C 07-1597 TEH (PR)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION

FOR VOLUNTARY

DISMISSAL WITH

PREJUDICE AND

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE

CLERK

(Docket No. 5) 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner currently incarcerated at Salinas Valley State

Prison and a frequent litigant in the federal courts, has filed a pro se complaint

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaining about Dr. Battey, who he contends wrongly

assigned him to the mental health program in retaliation for Plaintiff complaining

about misconduct amongst the mental health staff. On October 11, 2007, the

Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why the case should not be dismissed

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 

On November 5, 2007, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking voluntary dismissal

of this case with prejudice (docket no. 5). Plaintiff’s motion for voluntary

dismissal with prejudice is GRANTED (docket no. 5). See Fed. R. Civ P.

41(a)(2); Westlands Water Dist. v. United States, 100 F.3d 94, 96 (9th Cir. 1996)

(motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2) is addressed to the district

court’s sound discretion). The Clerk shall terminate the motion as decided by
