HON. DANIEL J. CALABRETTA UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

1. The case is dismissed without prejudice;
2. The Clerk of Court is directed to close the case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
