ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On February 16, 2018, United States Magistrate Judge Roy Percy issued a Report and
Recommendation recommending that this case be dismissed without prejudice under Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 41(b) because of Draper’s failure to prosecute and failure to comply with an
order of the Court requiring him to keep the Court informed of his current address. Doc. #38. In
light of such, the Report and Recommendation also recommends that the pending motions in this
case be dismissed as moot. Id.
On February 16, 2018, the Report and Recommendation was mailed to Draper at his last
known address but was returned as undeliverable on March 5, 2018.1 Doc. #39. Considering
such, the Court concludes that this case should be dismissed because of Draper’s failure to
prosecute and failure to keep the Court informed of his current address. Therefore:
1.

The Report and Recommendation [38] is ADOPTED as the order of the Court.

2.

The pending August 8, 2017, Report and Recommendation [19] is REJECTED as
moot.

3.

The pending motions [25][27] are DENIED as moot.
