Petitioner,

No. 2:18-cv-0931 DB P
v.
ORDER AND FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
J. SALAZAR, Warden,
15
Respondent.
16
On August 31, 2018, a court order was served on petitioner’s address of record. (See ECF
17
18
No. 12). The order was returned by the postal service as undeliverable on September 11, 2018.
On November 5, 2018, respondent filed a response and motion to dismiss the petition.
19
20
(ECF No. 13). On November 27, 2018, the court issued another order directing petitioner to file a
21
traverse to respondent’s filing within thirty days. (See ECF No. 14). On December 5, 2018, that
22
order was also returned to the court as undeliverable.
It appears that petitioner has failed to comply with Local Rule 182(f), which requires that
23
24
a party appearing in propria persona inform the court of any address change. More than sixty-
25
three days have passed since the first court order was returned by the postal service, and petitioner
26
has failed to notify the court of a current address.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court randomly assign a
District Court judge to this action.

IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that:
4
1. This matter be DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to prosecute (see Local Rule
5
183(b)), and
6
7
2. Respondent’s motion to dismiss filed November 5, 2018 (ECF No. 13) be DENIED as
moot.
8
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
9
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days
10
after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
11
objections with the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s
12
Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the objections shall be filed and served within
13
fourteen days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections
14
within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.
