ORDER

11

This is a civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On July 17, 2012, the court

12

issued an order screening plaintiff’s complaint. (ECF No. 6.) The order was mailed to plaintiff at his

13

address of record. On August 1, 2012, the order mailed to plaintiff was returned to the court as

14

undeliverable. (ECF No. 8.) After plaintiff updated his address on October 18, 2012, (ECF No. 9), the

15

court remailed the screening order and complaint. Again, the mail was returned to the court as

16

undeliverable. (ECF No. 11.)

17

Pursuant to Rule 2-2 of the Local Rules of Special Proceedings and Appeals, a pro se litigant is

18

required to keep the court apprised of his or her current address at all times. A litigant’s failure to do

19

so may result in dismissal of the action. Local Special Rule 2-2. Accordingly, the court dismisses this

20

action without prejudice pursuant to Local Special Rule 2-2.

21

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice.

22

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk SHALL ENTER judgment accordingly and close

23
24

this case.
DATED: November 8, 2012.
