MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
GILBERT, District Judge:
On April 2, 2014, this case was severed from O’Quinn v. Gaetz, et al., Case No. 13-cv01342-JPG-PMF (S.D. Ill., filed December 27, 2013), and Plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing
fee for this action or inform the Court that he wished to dismiss it on or before May 6, 2014
(Doc. 1, pp. 26-27).

Plaintiff filed a motion for continuance on April 15, 2014, seeking

additional time to advise the Court of his intentions to dismiss this matter without incurring a
filing fee for the action. For good cause shown, the Court granted Plaintiff an extension of this
deadline until June 10, 2014 (Doc. 6). Plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the severed action on
May 21, 2014 (Doc. 7). He seeks voluntary dismissal of the action. The motion is GRANTED
and this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i).
As specified in the severance order in this matter, Plaintiff shall not be assessed any filing fee for
this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: May 27, 2014
