MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on its own motion. The Court takes judicial notice
of Lancaster County Jail public records, which show that Petitioner has been released from
incarceration. See Stutzka v. McCarville, 420 F.3d 757, 761, n.2 (8th Cir. 2005) (holding
that a court may take judicial notice of public records). Petitioner has an obligation to keep
the Court informed 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 thirty days). This case cannot be prosecuted in this Court if Petitioner’s whereabouts
remain unknown. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED: Petitioner shall have thirty days to apprise the Court of his current
address. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of this matter without prejudice and without
further notice. The clerk of the court is directed to set a pro se case management deadline
in this case using the following text: February 22, 2016, check for address; dismiss if no
update.

DATED this 20th day of January, 2016.
