ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S

MOTION TO DISMISS

[Doc. 5]

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On February 13, 2007, Petitioner filed a motion requesting

dismissal of this action without prejudice. Pursuant to Rule 41(a), Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, an action may be dismissed by a party without permission of the court at any time

before an answer is served by the adverse party. The rule further provides that unless otherwise

stated, such a dismissal is without prejudice, except that a second such voluntary dismissal

operates as an adjudication on the merits. In this case, Respondent has not yet filed an answer. 

Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion to dismiss is HEREBY GRANTED and this action is

DISMISSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
