DISCUSSION
16
Plaintiff, a pro se inmate, previously filed an application to proceed in forma
17
pauperis and submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No.
18
1-1, 4). The Court has not yet screened the complaint.
19
Plaintiff now files a motion for voluntary dismissal. (ECF No. 7). Pursuant to
20
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), a plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court
21
order by filing “a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or
22
a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The Court grants
23
Plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss this action because no responsive pleading has
24
been filed in this case. As such, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice.
