ORDER

This is a pro se civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, by an inmate

16

formerly incarcerated at the Henderson Detention Center. By order filed April 19, 2011, this Court

17

granted plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and screened the complaint, allowing the

18

action to proceed. (ECF No. 2). The screening order was served on plaintiff at the Henderson

19

Detention Center, plaintiff’s address of record. (Id.). On April 21, 2011, the screening order was

20

returned to the Court as undeliverable – markings on the envelope indicate the following: “Non

21

Deliverable/Return To Sender/Not At This Address/No new address available.” (ECF No. 5).

22

Plaintiff has not notified the Court of a new address.

Rule LSR 2-2 of the Local Rules of Special Proceedings and Appeals provides:
The plaintiff shall immediately file with the court written notification
of any change of address. The notification must include proof of
service upon each opposing party or the party’s attorney. Failure to
comply with this rule may result in dismissal of the action with
prejudice.

1

In view of plaintiff’s failure to keep the Court informed of his address as required by LSR 2-2, the

2

Court will dismiss this action with prejudice.

3

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

4

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall ENTER JUDGMENT accordingly.
