FAILURE TO KEEP COURT APPRISED OF
CURRENT ADDRESS

PAUL COPENHAVER, et al.,
THIRTY-DAY DEADLINE

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff Ismael Lopez-Rangel (“Plaintiff”), a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

17
18

pauperis, filed this civil action on July 28, 2014, pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents

19

of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), which provides a remedy for violation of civil

20

rights by federal actors.1
In a December 19, 2014, filing, Plaintiff indicated that he is a citizen of Mexico and would be

21
22

deported upon release, which was within six months. Plaintiff asked that his case be expedited in

23

light of his upcoming release and deportation.
On January 22, 2015, the Court screened the complaint and dismissed it with leave to amend.

24
25

Plaintiff filed his amended complaint on March 2, 2015.
According to the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator, Plaintiff was released from custody on

26
27

May 4, 2015.

28

Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge on August 13, 2014.

1

1

Therefore, given Plaintiff’s notice to the Court of his upcoming release and deportation, as

2

well as his May 5, 2015, release, it appears that Plaintiff’s address on file with the Court (USP-

3

Atwater) is no longer current.

4

Plaintiff is required to keep the Court apprised of his current address at all times. Local Rule

5

183(b). Over four months have passed since Plaintiff’s release, and he has not updated his address

6

with the Court.

7

Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, if any he has, why this action

8

should not be dismissed, without prejudice, for failing to keep the Court apprised of his current

9

address.

10

Plaintiff SHALL file a response to this order to show cause within thirty (30) days of the date

11

of service of this order. Plaintiff may also comply with this order by filing a notice of change of

12

address.

13

Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal of this action.

14

IT IS SO ORDERED.
