On March 26, 2012, plaintiff, a prisoner of the State of California, filed a letter
13

complaining of conditions at his prison in San Diego County. That day, the clerk
14

notified plaintiff that he had not filed a complaint, and that he had neither paid the filing
15

fee nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Along with the
16

notices, the clerk mailed to plaintiff the court’s complaint and IFP forms, instructions for
17

completing the forms, and a stamped return envelope. In the notices, plaintiff was
18

informed that the case would be dismissed if he did not file a complaint, and pay the fee
19

or file a completed IFP application, within thirty days. In response, plaintiff has written
20

a letter stating that he does not want to proceed with a civil action at this time, and
21

requesting that his case be dismissed without prejudice. Accordingly, this case is
22

DISMISSED without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). The clerk shall enter judgment
23

and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
