v. Silverburg et al
Filing

MEMORANDUM OPINION by Judge David J. Hale that because it appears that Plaintiff has abandoned any interest in prosecution of this case, the Court will dismiss the case by separate Order. cc: Plaintiff, pro se (SG)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
LOUISVILLE DIVISION
JOSEPH L. SILVERBURG,
Plaintiff,
v.
Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-597-DJH
J. SETTLE,
Defendant.
* * * * *
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Upon filing the instant action, Plaintiff assumed the responsibility of keeping this Court
advised of his current address and to actively litigate his claims. See LR 5.2(d) (“All pro se
litigants must provide written notice of a change of address to the Clerk and to the opposing
party or the opposing party’s counsel. Failure to notify the Clerk of an address change may
result in the dismissal of the litigant’s case or other appropriate sanctions.”).
The Court sent an Order to Plaintiff on May 1, 2015. That mailing was returned to the
Court by the U.S. Postal Service marked “Moved Left No Address; Unable to Forward; Return
to Sender.” Plaintiff has not advised the Court of his new address, and notices from this Court in
this action cannot be served on Plaintiff. In such situations, courts have an inherent power
“acting on their own initiative, to clear their calendars of cases that have remained dormant
because of the inaction or dilatoriness of the parties seeking relief.” Link v. Wabash R.R. Co.,
370 U.S. 626, 630 (1962). Because it appears to this Court that Plaintiff has abandoned any
interest in prosecution of this case, the Court will dismiss the case by separate Order.
