Case No. 2:24-cv-00500-JAD-BNW

I.

DISCUSSION
Plaintiff, who is currently incarcerated in the custody of the Nevada Department of

Corrections, initiated this case with a complaint that stated that he was being housed at
High Desert State Prison. (ECF No. 1-1 at 1). The Court sent an advisory letter to
Plaintiff, but it came back as undeliverable to Plaintiff at High Desert State Prison. (ECF
Nos. 2, 3). The Court notes that Plaintiff also filed an application to proceed in forma
pauperis, which is dated roughly nine months before Plaintiff initiated this case, and it
indicates that Plaintiff was housed at Ely State Prison at that time. (ECF No. 1).
The Court notes that pursuant to Nevada Local Rule of Practice IA 3-1, a “pro se
party must immediately file with the court written notification of any change of mailing
address, email address, telephone number, or facsimile number.” Nev. Loc. R. IA 3-1.
“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.” Id. The Court grants
Plaintiff thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order to file his updated address with
the Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address within thirty (30)
days from the date of entry of this order, this case will be subject to dismissal without
prejudice.
