ORDER

The court has received notification that the mediator assigned to this case will be unable to

14

attend the inmate early mediation conference set for Wednesday, November 9, 2016, at 8:30 a.m.

15

The court therefore will vacate the inmate early mediation conference. The court will issue a

16

separate order rescheduling the inmate early mediation conference. Given the exigency of this

17

order, the court will require the Attorney General’s Office to notify Plaintiff by telephone that

18

tomorrow’s mediation is cancelled.

Additionally, the court notes that Plaintiff’s contact information on the court’s docket is not
current. Under Local Rule IA 3-1,
An attorney or pro se party must immediately file with the court written notification
of any change of mailing address, email address, telephone number, or facsimile
number. The notification must include proof of service on each opposing party or
the party’s attorney. Failure to comply with this rule may result in the dismissal of
the action, entry of default judgment, or other sanctions as deemed appropriate by
the court.

LR IA 3-1; see also LSR 2-2 (stating that a plaintiff “must immediately file with the court written

26

notification of change of address” with proof of service on each opposing party or attorney and that

27

failure to do so “may result in dismissal of the action with prejudice.”) The court therefore will

28

require Plaintiff to file written notification of his current contact information within 30 days from

1

the date of this order. Plaintiff is advised that failure to comply with this order may result in the

2

dismissal of this case.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the inmate early mediation conference set for

4

Wednesday, November 9, 2016, at 8:30 a.m. is VACATED. The court will enter a separate order

rescheduling the mediation conference.
