Belvin v. United States of America

Filing 13

MEMORANDUM OPINION. Signed by District Judge John A. Gibney, Jr on 8/8/11. Copy sent: Yes(tdai, )

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Richmond Division
RAMOND RAY BELVIN, JR.,

Petitioner,
v.

Civil Action No. 3:11CV354

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Petitioner moved to voluntarily dismiss this action. The United States has not filed an answer
to the complaint or a motion for summary judgment. Thus, Petitioner's motion operates to dismiss
the action without prejudice without order of the Court.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(l)(A)(i).

Accordingly, the Court will GRANT Petitioner's motion (Docket No. 12), and the action will be

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Furthermore, the accounting department at Petitioner's

place of incarceration will be DIRECTED to cease collecting fees for the present action.
An appropriate Order will accompany the Memorandum Opinion.
It is so ORDERED.
