The order of procedure entered in this case specifically d ire c te d Blackmon to immediately inform the court of any change in his address.

In light of the foregoing, the court e n ter e d an order requiring that on or before July 26, 2010 Blackmon inform the court of his p re s e n t address. Order of July 16, 2010 - Court Doc. No. 26.
