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

a motion for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The Court grants
Plaintiff’s motion to voluntarily dismiss this action because no responsive pleading has
been filed in this case. As such, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice.

(ECF No. 3) is granted.
