IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
Civil Action No. 16-cv-00290-REB
CLEOPHUS MORRIS,
Plaintiff,
v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before me sua sponte. On March 18, 2016, I entered an Order To
Show Cause [#19]1 noting that some mail sent to plaintiff at the address shown on the
docket had been returned as undeliverable. Because it is plaintiff’s responsibility to
keep the court apprised of an address at which he can receive mail from the court, see
D.C.COLO.LCivR 5.1(c), I ordered plaintiff to show cause why this case should not be
dismissed for failure to comply with the local civil rules of this district.
The court is now in receipt of plaintiff’s Motion To Enter Cleophus Morris’
Alternative Address [#20], filed March 25, 2016, which I construe as a response to the
court’s show cause order. Therein, plaintiff provides an alternative address and a
reasonable explanation as to why mail sent to the address previously provided was

returned as undeliverable. Moreover, the clerk of the court has updated plaintiff’s
address. The matters raised by and inherent to the show cause order therefore have
been adequately addressed and resolved, and accordingly, the order should be
discharged
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Order To Show Cause [#19], filed
March 18, 2016, is discharged
Dated March 30, 2016, at Denver, Colorado.
