ORDER OF DISMISSAL
GOOGLE INC.,
Defendant.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
On December 19, 2021, the Court received a notice of voluntary dismissal from Plaintiff, see
ECF No. 6, seeking to have this action “voluntarily dismissed without prejudice.” The Court grants
Plaintiff’s request. This action is therefore dismissed pursuant to Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure.
CONCLUSION
The action is voluntarily dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). This order closes this case.
The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be
taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf.
Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good
faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the
docket.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: December 20, 2021
