MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 29, 2015, Petitioner Emma Gerald (“Gerald”) filed a petition for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, seeking to attack her federal sentence by way of the

Savings Clause of 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). (Doc. 1). On May 21, 2015, Respondent answered,

seeking to have the petition dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. (Doc. 16). Gerald has not

contested Respondent’s arguments but instead seeks to voluntarily dismiss the petition without

prejudice. (Doc. 20). Because a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction would also be “without

prejudice,” Gerald and Respondent seek the same relief. Accordingly, Gerald’s petition will be

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. A separate order will be entered.

DONE this the 7th day of July, 2015.
