On November 25, 2008, the Court dismissed the complaint with leave to amend so that Plaintiff may attempt to allege facts showing why his claims are not time-barred. (See Docket No. 4.) On December 8, 2008, Plaintiff notified the Court that he would like to dismiss the case, which the Court construed as a motion for voluntary dismissal. However, in the same document Plaintiff requested the Court to send notification to the Prison's Trust Office "instructing them to remove the filing fee order on 11/20/2008." (See Docket No. 5.) In an Order filed December 17, 2008, the Court advised Plaintiff that voluntary dismissal of this action does not waive the filing fee. (See Docket No. 6.)
