Plaintiff 18 has now filed a letter addressed to the Court requesting that the complaint be withdrawn. (Doc. 19 No. 4.) Plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss his complaint with or without order of this court. See 20 Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2); 41(a)(1)(A). Said dismissal may be with or without prejudice, but 21 unless plaintiff’s notice of dismissal or the court order states otherwise, it is deemed to be 22 “without prejudice.” See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1); 41(a)(2). Because the opposing parties have 23 not been served, plaintiff’s request for voluntary dismissal is construed as a “notice of 24 dismissal,” and requires no order from the court. Fed. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). 25 Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED. The Clerk shall close the file. 26 IT IS SO ORDERED. 27 28 DATED: RONALD M.
