ORDER OF DISMISSAL

12
13

On April 2, 2012, mail was sent from the Court to Plaintiff at the address he provided on his

14

complaint and was returned undelivered on April 9, 2012, marked "return to sender" and "not in

15

custody." More than sixty days have passed since the mail was returned to the Court undelivered.

16

Plaintiff has failed to comply with Local Rule 3-11(a) which requires that a party proceeding pro se

17

must "promptly file with the Court and serve upon all opposing parties a Notice of Change of

18

Address specifying the new address" when his address changes. Local Rule 3-11(b) allows the

19

Court to dismiss a complaint without prejudice when mail directed to a pro se party is returned as

20

not deliverable and the pro se party fails to send a current address within sixty days of the return of

21

the undelivered mail. These four actions are dismissed without prejudice because Plaintiff failed to

22

keep the Court informed of his address in compliance with Local Rule 3-11(a). The Clerk shall

23

close the files.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
