WATSON WARD, Plaintiff, v. IVORY, ET AL., Defendants.

HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER'S REQUEST FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

Michigan state prisoner Watson Ward filed a pro se civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Now before the Court are two letter-motions from Plaintiff requesting voluntary dismissal of his complaint.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a) permits a plaintiff to dismiss an action without leave of the adverse party or the court at any time before service by the adverse party of an answer or of a motion for summary judgment. Respondent has not yet been served with the petition and, therefore, has not filed an answer or motion for summary judgment.

The Court GRANTS Petitioner's letter-motions for dismissal (dkt. # 8 and #9) and the matter is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Dated: July 27, 2015
