No. C 13-0528 LHK (PR)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On February 6, 2013, Plaintiff, a California state prisoner, filed a letter with the Court,

17

which initiated these proceedings. (Doc. No. 1.) On February 19, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion

18

to dismiss without prejudice. (Doc. No. 5.)

19

Plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss his complaint with or without order of this Court. See

20

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A), (a)(2). Because no opposing party has been served, Plaintiff’s letter

21

requesting to dismiss these proceedings is construed as a “notice of dismissal,” and requires no

22

order from the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(I). Accordingly, this action is

23

DISMISSED. The Clerk of the Court shall terminate all pending motions and deadlines and

24

close the file. The Clerk is also directed to send an electronic copy of Plaintiff’s original letter

25

(Doc. No. 1), and a copy of this order to the courtroom deputy of Judge Thelton Henderson.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
