On July 17, 2013, Plaintiff Shawn Laughlin-Magnusson filed a pro se civil rights
action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 31, 2013, Plaintiff filed this motion to dismiss his
complaint.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), a plaintiff may dismiss an action
by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves an answer or a motion for
summary judgment. Because the opposing parties in this case have not yet been served, the
Court grants Plaintiff’s request for voluntary dismissal without prejudice. The Clerk of
Court shall terminate all pending motions as moot and close this case. Because Plaintiff has
dismissed his complaint very early in the proceedings, the Clerk of Court shall not charge
Plaintiff a filing fee.
