v.

Defendant

10

Plaintiff Jessica Brown has filed a motion asking that this case be dismissed without

11 prejudice. ECF No. 6. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), a plaintiff may dismiss an
12 action without a court order by filing “a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either
13 an answer or a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The complaint has
14 not been served on the defendant, and thus the defendant has not filed an answer or a motion for
15 summary judgment. Accordingly, I grant Brown’s motion to voluntarily dismiss this action.
16

For the foregoing reasons:

17

IT IS ORDERED that Brown’s motion to dismiss this case [ECF No. 6] is granted. This

18 case is dismissed in its entirety, without prejudice.
19

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Brown’s application to proceed in forma pauperis [ECF

20 No. 1] is DENIED as moot.
21

The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and to close this case.
