CAROLINE RILEY Plaintiff, pro se.
DECISION and ORDER
By prior Decision and Order of this Court, pro se plaintiff Caroline Riley was afforded the opportunity to file an amended complaint if she wished to avoid dismissal of this action. Dkt. No. 4.
By letter dated June 5, 2007, plaintiff has requested that this action be dismissed. Dkt. No. 5.
Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides in relevant part as follows:
[A]n action may be dismissed by the plaintiff without order of court (i) by filing a notice of dismissal at any time before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment, which ever first occurs, . . . .
Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint in accordance with the Court's prior Decision and Order and, accordingly, the defendant has not been served with process. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to dismiss this action.
WHEREFORE, it is hereby
ORDERED, that this action is dismissed without prejudice pursuant to plaintiff's request (Dkt. No. 5), and it is further
ORDERED, that the Clerk serve a copy of this Order on plaintiff by regular mail.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
