Plaintiff Nathaniel Marcus Gann (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this

18

civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds on Plaintiff’s second

amended complaint against Defendant Vera-Brown for deliberate indifference to serious medical

20

needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment. All parties have consented to Magistrate Judge

21

jurisdiction. (ECF No. 52.)

On October 17, 2022, the Court’s order granting Defendant’s motion to vacate scheduling

23

order was returned as “Undeliverable, Out to Court” after being mailed to Plaintiff’s address of

24

record. After receiving no other communications from Plaintiff, on December 23, 2022, the

25

Court issued an order directing Plaintiff to file a notice of his current address or show cause in

26

writing why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 70.)

2

institution, and has only had telephonic or video court appearances in that time. Plaintiff

3

addressed the issue with the Litigation Coordinator and the officer who delivers mail at the

4

facility, but was offered no ideas as to why the mail was not delivered. (Id.)

Based on Plaintiff’s response, the December 23, 2022 order to show cause, (ECF No. 70),

6

is HEREBY DISCHARGED. The action will continue, and the parties’ pending motions will be

resolved in due course.
