UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

WEN HWA SHIEH, : Plaintiff, : : 19-CV-5306 (JMF) -V- : : ORDER NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, : Defendant. :

JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge: The Court has received a letter from Plaintiff — who is proceeding without counsel — dated November 10, 2020. In his letter, Plaintiff “ask[s] the judge to allow [him] to dismiss [his] case without damage.” ECF No. 28. This is not the first time Plaintiff has indicated a desire to drop his case. See ECF No. 16 (“[I] ask the judge . . . to temporarily withdraw litigation against the N.Y.C.H.A.”); ECF No. 23 (“I want to dismiss the charge over N.Y.C.H.A.”). In the earlier instances, the Court declined to dismiss so as to confirm “that Plaintiff is knowingly and voluntarily seeking to dismiss his case, and that [his motion] is not a product of misunderstanding.” ECF No. 24. Now that Plaintiff has reiterated — for a third time — his desire to dismiss the case, the Court will treat it as a notice of dismissal under Rule 41(1)(1)(A)@) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Accordingly, all of Plaintiffs claims are hereby DISMISSED without prejudice. Thus, all future conferences in this case, including the one currently scheduled for December 1, 2020, are hereby cancelled. To the extent that Plaintiff's most recent letter complains about unfairness and unequal treatment, see ECF No. 28, the Court finds no merit to these complaints. There is no right to appointed counsel in civil cases, and the Court may not hire an interpreter for parties in civil cases. The Court certifies under

(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. See Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case and mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff. SO ORDERED. Dated: November 16, 2020 New York, New York SSE RMAN ited States District Judge
