No. C 13-3369 LHK (PR)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On July 18, 2013, plaintiff, a California state prisoner, filed a letter with the court, which

17

initiated these proceedings. (Docket No. 1.) The same day, the Clerk notified plaintiff that he

18

failed to submit a complaint, and sent a complaint form to plaintiff. (Docket No. 2.) On August

19

5, 2013, plaintiff filed a second letter indicating that he “did not wish to file any form of ‘Civil

20

Claim’ against any party.” (Docket No. 6.)

21

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

22

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

23

requesting to dismiss these proceedings is construed as a “notice of dismissal.” See Fed. R. Civ.

24

P. 41(a)(1)(A)(I). Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED. The Clerk shall terminate all

25

pending motions and deadlines and close the file.

26
27

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED:

9/24/13
