DONALD DEUTSCH, Plaintiff, v. A. ENENMOH, et al., Defendants.
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF THE COURT TO CLOSE THIS CASE PURSUANT TO PLAINTIFF'S NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL [ECF No. 18]
Plaintiff Donald Deutsch is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed his complaint on April 8, 2013.
On July 14, 2015, Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(i). At this stage in the proceedings, Plaintiff has the absolute right to dismiss his claims, without prejudice. Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, L.L.C. v. Davis, 267 F.3d 1042, 1049 (9th Cir. 2001). Filing a notice of dismissal with the court automatically terminates the action, and the Court no longer has jurisdiction over the claims. Id.; Concha v. London, 62 F.3d 1493, 1506 (9th Cir. 1995).
ORDER
Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is HEREBY DIRECTED to close this file pursuant to Plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal filed on July 14, 2015. IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 16 , 2015
