Before the Court is Tony L. Hart v. State of Nevada, case number 2:17-cv-02244-JAD-VCF.

13

Plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on August 23, 2017. (ECF No. 1). The Court denied

14

the motion to proceed in forma pauperis for failure to disclose information on his real property. (ECF

15

No. 3). Hart was ordered to complete all the questions in application to proceed in forma pauperis, or in

16

the alternative, pay the full filing fee by October 13, 2017. Id. On October 10, 2017, the court’s order

17

was returned as undeliverable to Hart with no new forwarding address. (ECF No. 4).

18

Under IA 3-1, [a]n attorney or pro se party must immediately file with the court written notification

19

of any change of mailing address, email address, telephone number, or facsimile number… Failure to

20

comply with this rule may result in the dismissal of the action, entry of default judgment, or other sanctions

21

as deemed appropriate by the court. To date, Hart has not updated his address. Hence, it would seem as

22

though Hart has abandoned this litigation before it even started. A complaint has not been lodged in this

23

matter since the application for in forma pauperis was denied and the filing fee was not paid. There are

24

no claims to dismiss.

25

Accordingly,
