ORDER DISMISSING ACTION ON
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION
(ECF No. 10)
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action. Plaintiff has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
Plaintiff has filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss this action. Plaintiff indicates that at the time this action was filed, he had not fully exhausted his available administrative remedies. Plaintiff indicates that he has now properly exhausted his claims.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), Plaintiff may dismiss this action on his own motion so long as a responsive pleading has not been filed. No answer has been filed, and no appearance has been entered by any defendant. Plaintiff's motion should therefore be granted.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed, without prejudice, on Plaintiff's motion. The Clerk is directed to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
