Case No. 3:18-cv-00155-MMD-WGC
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
BRIAN WILLIAMS, et al.,
Defendants.

13
14

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

15

pauperis and submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 1,

16

1-1.) The Court has not yet screened the Complaint.

17

Plaintiff now files a notice of voluntary dismissal. (ECF No. 3.) Pursuant to Federal

18

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

19

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

20

for summary judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). The Court now dismisses this

21

action, without prejudice, because no responsive pleading has been filed in this case.

22
23

For the foregoing reasons, it is ordered this action is dismissed in its entirety without
prejudice.

24

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

25

DATED THIS 20th day of April 2018.
