Although Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated, Local Rule 230(l) continues to apply to this action, in
accordance with the Court’s general practice.

Plaintiff may have moved, as on December 11, 2012, the United States Postal Service returned the Court’s
order of November 13, 2012, as undeliverable. A notation on the envelope reads “attempted-not known.” However,
Plaintiff has not notified the Court of any change in his address. Absent such notice, service at a party’s prior
address is fully effective. Local Rule 182(f).
