Civil Docket No. 17-11060-LTS

ORDER
July 11, 2017
SOROKIN, D.J.
For the reasons stated below, this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
On June 8, 2017, Michael Sullivan, who is proceeding pro se, filed a civil complaint [#1]
against three Waltham police officers, alleging they did not properly investigate or otherwise
respond to his reports that federal intelligence agencies are waging “psychological warfare” on
him. Sullivan also filed motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [#2] and for the
appointment of counsel [#4]. Summonses have not issued pending resolution of the filing fee
and a preliminary review of the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
On June 19, 2017, Sullivan filed a document captioned as a motion for dismissal [#6],
which appears to be a request from the plaintiff that this action be dismissed. Treating this
motion as a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, the Court GRANTS the motion and orders that this action be DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The pending motions shall be terminated as moot.
SO ORDERED.
