Case No. 21-cv-04948-PJH

,
Defendant.

13

This case was opened when plaintiff, a Texas state prisoner proceeding pro se,

14

wrote a letter to the court. In an effort to protect his rights, it was filed as a new case.

15

Plaintiff was informed that he had not filed a complaint and was given twenty-eight days

16

to do so. He also was sent a notice that he had not paid the filing fee or applied for leave

17

to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”); again, he was allowed twenty-eight days to either

18

pay the fee or file the application. Plaintiff has now filed a notice that he did not intend to

19

initiate an action and seeks to dismiss this case. This case is therefore DISMISSED

20

without prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). No fee is due.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
