On October 17, 2017, Magistrate Judge Foley recommended I dismiss with prejudice
11
plaintiff Robert Jackson’s claims against the John Doe U.S. Attorney defendant because that
12
defendant would be entitled to prosecutorial immunity. ECF No. 3. Magistrate Judge Foley also
13
recommended I dismiss without prejudice Jackson’s claims against defendant Diego Grimaldo
14
because it was unclear from the complaint whether Jackson’s claims were barred under Heck v.

Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 480 (1994). Id. Jackson filed a response in which he disputed some of
16
the Magistrate Judge’s ruling, but Jackson nevertheless requests to voluntarily dismiss his claims

without prejudice. ECF No. 4.
