No. 4:17-cv-2224-CDP

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court sua sponte. On September 19, 2017, mail that this Court
sent to plaintiff was returned without a forwarding address, and plaintiff has not notified the
Court of any change in his address. The Local Rules of this Court require a pro se party to
promptly notify the Clerk of any change in his address or telephone number. See E.D. Mo. L.R.
2.06(B). “If any mail to a pro se plaintiff or petitioner is returned to the Court without a
forwarding address and the pro se plaintiff does not notify the Court of the change of address
within thirty (30) days, the Court may, without further notice, dismiss the action without
prejudice.” Id.
In this case, more than thirty days have passed since the mail was returned, and plaintiff
has not notified the Court of a change of address. The Court will therefore dismiss this action,
without prejudice, pursuant to Local Rule 2.06(B).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. A
separate order of dismissal will be entered herewith.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis (Docket No. 2) is DENIED as moot.
Dated this 23rd day of October, 2017.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
