Plaintiff, a prisoner at the Washington State Penitentiary, presented a pro se
18 civil rights complaint on December 12, 2016. He now asks to withdraw the
19 complaint and seeks the return of this 160 page document. Because this file has
20 been opened, the Court will construe Plaintiff’s request as a Motion to Voluntarily
21 Dismiss, ECF No. 5.
22
No ruling has been made regarding Plaintiff’s application to proceed in
23 forma pauperis. Defendants have not been served in this action. Pursuant to
24 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), the case will be dismissed.
