Date Filed Document Text
August 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ELECTRONIC ORDER: Plaintiff filed a motion to withdraw his civil-rights complaint. Dkt. No. #7 . Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a) permits a plaintiff to dismiss an action without a court order by filing a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves an answer. The Court finds that Plaintiff's motion serves as a self-executing notice of voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a). This case is now closed, and any pending motions are terminated. Plaintiff is advised that if he refiles his complaint, he must submit his complaint on the court-approved form for prisoner civil-rights cases, and he must pay the $402.00 filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis with a certified statement of his inmate trust account. (Ordered by Senior Judge Sam R Cummings on 8/1/2022) (chmb)
