ORDER

On November 25, 2014, a copy of the November 12, 2014 Scheduling Order which was
mailed to Plaintiff at his last-known address, was returned to Sender (Doc. No. 18).
Pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2), a pro se plaintiff must promptly notify the Clerk of the
Court and other parties of any change in his address, and must monitor the progress of the case and
prosecute it diligently. Furthermore, the Local Rule provides for the dismissal without prejudice
of any action in which communication from the Court to a pro se plaintiff is not responded to within
thirty days. Although Plaintiff has apparently changed his address, this Order will be sent to his lastknown address. Accordingly,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiff shall notify this Court of his current address
and his intent to continue prosecution with this action, pro se, within thirty days of the date of this
Order. Failure to comply with this Order shall result in the dismissal without prejudice of Plaintiff’s
Complaint for failure to prosecute.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 26th day of November, 2014.
