ORDER AND FINAL JUDGMENT
Plaintiff, a state inmate, filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint on October 2, 2018. Prior
to service of the complaint, Plaintiff filed a motion wherein he requests dismissal of this case.
The court construes the motion as a Notice of Dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i),
which permits voluntary dismissal by a plaintiff “before the opposing party serves either an
answer or a motion for summary judgment[.]” Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B), such dismissal
is “without prejudice.” Accordingly, it is the
ORDER, JUDGMENT, and DECREE of the court that this case is DISMISSED without
prejudice pursuant to Plaintiff’s Notice of Dismissal.
The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to enter this document on the civil docket as a final
judgment pursuant to Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
This case is closed.
DONE this 8th day of November, 2018.
