MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the court on its own motion. When Plaintiff filed his Complaint
in this matter he was incarcerated at the Lancaster County Jail in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Correspondence from officials at the Lancaster County Jail reflects that Plaintiff is no longer

of his current address at all times. See NEGenR 1.3(e) and (g) (requiring pro se parties to
adhere to local rules and inform the court of address changes within 30 days). This case
cannot be prosecuted in this court if Plaintiff’s whereabouts remain unknown.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Plaintiff shall have 14 days from the date of this Memorandum and Order to
apprise the court of his current address in the absence of which this matter will be dismissed
without further notice to Plaintiff.
