ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s letter [Doc. 4], which
the Court construes as a motion for voluntary dismissal.
Pro se Plaintiff Clevic Cordero (“Plaintiff”) filed this action pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Defendant FNU Mason, identified as a nurse at
Marion Correctional Institution in Marion, North Carolina, based on the
alleged failure to give Plaintiff his stomach medication. [Doc. 1]. Plaintiff
moved to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. 2] and the Clerk ordered Plaintiff
to provide a certified copy of his prisoner trust account statement [Doc. 3].
Plaintiff now moves the Court to dismiss his Complaint without prejudice.
[Doc. 4]. As grounds, Plaintiff states that he is now receiving his medication
and he wishes to “drop [his] lawsuit case.” [Id.]. Although Plaintiff does not
need leave of Court to dismiss his case, the Court will nonetheless grant

Plaintiff’s motion and order that this case be dismissed without prejudice.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Plaintiff also appears to request that the
Court provide him with two blank prisoner 1983 forms. The Court will instruct
the Clerk to provide Plaintiff with these forms.
ORDER
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Voluntary
Dismissal [Doc. 4] is GRANTED and this action is hereby DISMISSED
without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk’s Order for Prisoner Trust
Account Statement [Doc. 3] is VACATED.
The Clerk is respectfully instructed to send Plaintiff two blank prisoner
1983 forms.
The Clerk is also respectfully instructed to terminate this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
