Parties appearing pro se. It is the duty of any party not represented by
counsel to promptly notify the Clerk and the other parties to the
proceedings of any change in his or her address, to monitor the progress

appearing for himself/herself shall sign his/her pleadings and state
his/her address, zip code, and telephone number. If any communication
from the Court to a pro se plaintiff is not responded to within thirty (30)
days, the case may be dismissed without prejudice. Any party proceeding
