UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRUCE EDWARD ATKINS,

Case No. 17-cv-03791-VC (PR)

Petitioner,
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
WITHOUT PREJUDICE

v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.

On July 3, 2017, Bruce Atkins, a state prisoner proceeding pro se submitted a motion for
a prelimary injunction seeking release from jail.
On August 14, 2017, Court mail was returned as undeliverable because Atkins was out of
custody. Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11, a party proceeding pro se whose address
changes while an action is pending must promptly file a notice of change of address specifying
the new address. See Civil L.R. 3-11(a). The Court may, without prejudice, dismiss a complaint
when: (1) mail directed to the pro se party by the Court has been returned to the Court as not
deliverable, and (2) the Court fails to receive within sixty days of this return a written
communication from the pro se party indicating a current address. See Civil L.R. 3-11(b).
More than sixty days have passed since the mail sent to Atkins by the Court was returned
as undeliverable and the Court has not received a notice from Atkins of his current address.
Accordingly, the instant complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Rule 3-11 of
the Northern District Local Rules. All pending motions are terminated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 14, 2017
