KENNETH HATLEN,

12

Plaintiff,

13

vs.

14

Case No. 2:11-cv-01117-KJD-CWH

LT. FELLEPS,

15

ORDER

Defendant.

16
This was a pro se prisoner civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The court

17
18

granted petitioner leave to proceed in forma pauperis and plaintiff paid the required initial

19

installment. Thereafter, plaintiff moved to amend the complaint by way of a supplement, which the

20

court denied, directing plaintiff to file an amended complaint which was complete within itself.

21

(ECF No. 10). That order was returned to the court as undeliverable. The complaint was dismissed

22

and the action closed on September 14, 2011 because plaintiff failed to keep the court informed of

23

his address and because he failed to file a viable complaint despite being given ample opportunity to

24

do so.

25

Now, plaintiff has filed various motions including a motion for appointment of

26

counsel (ECF No. 18), a motion to receive free copies (ECF No. 17) and a motion to have the matter

27

reassigned to a different judge (ECF No. 16). The motion will be denied without further

28

1

consideration because the matter has been dismissed. The Clerk shall not accept any other

2

documents for filing in this matter except a proper Notice of Appeal.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 5, 2011
