Plaintiff,
v.
RYAN DENNIS, et al.,
Defendants.

No. 1:17-CV-183 NAB

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss this action. The Court notes
that this action has heretofore been stayed and administratively closed pursuant to Wallace v.
Kato, 549 U.S. 384 (2007), during the pendency of plaintiff’s state criminal proceedings. Given
that plaintiff wishes to dismiss his action altogether, the Court will reopen the present matter for
the purposes of effectuating plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is REOPENED for the sole purpose of
effectuating plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for voluntary dismissal of the
present action [Doc. #8] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a).
Dated this 6th day of March, 2018.

STEPHEN N. LIMBAUGH, JR.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
