Plaintiff,

NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

I.

DISCUSSION

16

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

17

pauperis, a first amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint, and a motion to

18

supplement his first amended complaint. (Dkt. no. 1, 5, 6.)

19

Plaintiff now files a motion for voluntary dismissal. (Dkt. no. 7.) Pursuant to

20

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

21

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

22

answer or a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The Court

23

grants Plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss this action because no responsive

24

pleading has been filed in this case. As such, the Court dismisses this action without

25

prejudice.
