Defendant

11

Pro-se plaintiff Larry Ford states that he “do[es] not want to proceed with any thing against

12

[defendant] Central Mortgage Company.”1 I construe Ford’s statement as a motion for voluntary

13

dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2).2 As Ford notes his in statement, his

14

attorney has withdrawn from the case.3 His former counsel also represented to Magistrate Judge

15

Nancy Koppe at the September 3, 2014, hearing that he was unsure the plaintiff wished to proceed.4

16

Good cause appearing, the plaintiff’s motion to dismiss [Doc. 42] is GRANTED, and

17

Central Mortgage’s pending motion to dismiss [Doc. 6] is DENIED as moot.

18

The clerk of court is instructed to CLOSE this case.
