ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On August 11, 2011, Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights
16
17
complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 4, 2011, Plaintiff filed a letter requesting
18
that his court action not continue. The Court construes Plaintiff’s letter as a notice of voluntary
19
dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). Plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss
20
his complaint without order of this Court if he files his notice before Defendants serve an answer
21
or motion for summary judgment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(i); American Soccer Co. v. Score
22
First Enters., 187 F. 3d 1108, 1110 (9th Cir. 1999) (noting that a plaintiff has an “absolute right”
23
to dismiss his action voluntarily before defendant serves an answer or a motion for summary
24
judgment). Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk shall close the
25
file.
