MINUTE ORDER (Text Entry Only) On September 8, 2026, Petitioner filed a second petition requesting to "cancel" the petition in this action. (Doc. 9.) The Court construed the second petition as a motion to dismiss under Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and granted the construed motion on September 14, 2026. (Doc. 10.) Petitioner has now filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss this petition. (Doc. 11 .) Because the Court previously dismissed the petition without prejudice based upon Petitioner's construed request under Rule 41(a), the current motion to voluntarily dismiss is terminated as MOOT signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on September 28, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 09/28/2026)
