Plaintiff,

No. CIV S-11-1709 JAM DAD PS

v.
S. BOULANGER, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
/

16

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se with a civil rights complaint against two individuals.

17

On July 6, 2011, the court served upon plaintiff at his address of record an order setting status

18

(pretrial scheduling) conference. (Doc. No. 4.) The court’s records reflect that on July 13, 2011,

19

plaintiff’s copy of the order was returned to the court by the postal service marked

20

“Undeliverable, RTS - Insufficient Address.” In a document filed August 18, 2011, counsel for

21

defendant Boulanger informed the court that plaintiff’s copy of defendant’s July 25, 2011 motion

22

to quash or dismiss was returned to counsel marked “Return to Sender - Insufficient Address.”

23

(Doc. No. 8.) Moreover, plaintiff did not appear at the hearing of defendant’s motion on August

24

26, 2011.

25
26

It appears that plaintiff failed to provide the court with his complete address at the
commencement of the action or he has failed to comply with Local Rule 182, which requires
1

1

every party, including any party proceeding in propria persona, to notify the court and all other

2

parties of any change of address. Local Rule 182(f). Absent proper notice of a change of

3

address, service of documents at a party’s address of record is fully effective. Id. Failure to

4

comply with the court’s rules or with any order of the court may be grounds for imposition by the

5

court of any and all sanctions authorized by statute or rule or within the inherent power of the

6

court. Local Rule 110.

7

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve this

8

order on plaintiff at his address of record and also c/o Satoko Parlante at 2305 Creekview Dr.,

9

Merced, CA 95340; and

10

IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice due to

11

plaintiff’s failure to provide the court with a complete address at the commencement of the case

12

or his failure to notify the court of a change of address.

13

These findings and recommendations will be submitted to the United States

14

District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within

15

twenty-eight days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file

16

and serve written objections with the court. A document containing objections should be titled

17

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff’s failure to file

18

objections within the specified time may, under certain circumstances, waive the right to appeal

19

the District Court’s order regarding the findings and recommendations. See Martinez v. Ylst,

20

951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
