ORDER

On October 21, 2013, the Court directed plaintiff to file an application to proceed in
forma pauperis or pay the filing fee within thirty days of entry of the Order. The Court also
directed plaintiff to be familiar with and comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
the Local Rules of this Court. The Court warned plaintiff that failure to comply with the rules
could result in the dismissal of his complaint.
The certified mail receipt showing delivery of the Order was filed October 31, 2013.
ECF. No. 7. The Order sent by regular mail was returned as undeliverable on November 8,
2013. ECF No. 8. Plaintiff has not filed an in forma pauperis application or paid the filing fee.
Local Rule 5.5 (c)(2) provides that a party proceeding pro se has a duty to notify the
Clerk of any change in his address and to prosecute his action diligently. It also states that if any
communication from the Court is not responded to within thirty days, the case may be dismissed

without prejudice.
Because plaintiff failed to comply with the Order dated October 21, 2013, and failed to
notify the Court of a change of address, the Court dismisses plaintiff’s complaint without
prejudice.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve this Order and the Judgment on plaintiff by
booth regular and certified mail, return receipt requested.
SO ORDERED this 17th day of December, 2013.
