In fact, the Court’s mailing was returned as undeliverable, with the notations: “No longer at this address”
and “Return to Sender, Not Deliverable as Addressed, Unable to Forward.” (Doc. 7.) Chapman’s failure
to notify the Court of any change in his address provides a separate, independent reason to dismiss his
habeas petition. Local R. 11.1.
