NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
MICHAEL CRAVEY,
a/k/a THOMAS BRINKLEY
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-00041-MP-GRJ

GAINESVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al.,
Defendants.
_____________________________/
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Doc. 3, Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge, which recommends that this case be dismissed with prejudice as frivolous pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). The Report and Recommendation was returned as undeliverable. (Doc. 4).
Likewise, the pro se notice that explained certain court procedures was returned as
undeliverable. (Doc. 5). Both of these documents were sent to the return address associated
with Plaintiff’s Complaint: 200 Burnett Road, Chicopee, Massachusetts 01020. (Doc. 1). A
letter was sent with the return of the Report and Recommendation, indicating that the address is
associated with the company Dow Jones, L.P., and is not associated with anyone named Michael
Cravey. As Plaintiff has failed to update the Court with his address, the Court finds that Plaintiff
has abandoned his claim. Thus, in addition to the reasons set forth in the Report and
Recommendation, the matter should be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.

The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 3) is adopted and

Cravey a/k/a Thomas Brinkley” to the Magistrate Judge for screening before
filing.
