JESSE ARON ROSS,

Case No. 2:17-cv-02240-MMD-PAL
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

9
ADAM LAXALT, et al.,
10
Defendants.

11
12

Plaintiff, a pro se prisoner, previously filed an application to proceed in forma

13

pauperis and submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No.

14

1, 1-1.) The Court has not yet screened the complaint.

15

Plaintiff now files a motion for voluntary dismissal. (ECF No. 3.) Pursuant to

16

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), a plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court

17

order by filing “a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or

18

a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The Court grants Plaintiff’s

19

motion to voluntarily dismiss this action because no responsive pleading has been filed

20

in this case. As such, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice.

21
22

For the foregoing reasons, it is ordered that the motion for voluntary dismissal
(ECF No. 3) is granted.

23

It is further ordered that this action is dismissed in its entirety without prejudice.

24

It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court enter judgment accordingly.

DATED THIS 6th day of October 2017.
