WENDY KELLEY, Director
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT

ORDER
On August 5, 2016, Petitioner filed the instant habeas petition. On October 13, 2016, the
Court directed Plaintiff no later than November 14, 2016 to either pay the $5 statutory filing fee
or complete an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The case docket indicates that all
mail sent to Petitioner has been returned undeliverable. This Court’s attempt to locate Petitioner
via the Arkansas Department of Corrections (ADC) inmate search has yielded no results to
queries by ADC number or by name.
Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) requires pro se parties to notify the Court of any changes to his or
her address. If any communication from this Court is not responded to within thirty (30) days,
the case may be dismissed without prejudice. Petitioner has not notified the Court of any
changes to his address and the Court has been unable to locate Petitioner. Therefore, the petition
for writ of habeas corpus (DE #1) is dismissed without prejudice. No certificate of appealability
will issue. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) & (2).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of December, 2016.
