MEMORANDUM OPINION. Signed by Judge Robert B. Kugler on 12/5/2018. (tf,nm)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
DAVID BROWN,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action
No. 18-9791(RBK)(AMD)
v.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
OFFICER HILT, et al.,
Defendants.
ROBERT B. KUGLER, U.S.D.J.
1.
On May 29, 2018, Plaintiff Michael Evron filed his complaint in this matter
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
2.
On October 31, 2018, the Court issued an Order reassigning this matter to the
undersigned for all further proceedings.
3.
The post office returned said Order as undeliverable on November 13, 2018, as
Plaintiff was released from the Cumberland County Jail. Plaintiff has not contacted the Court in
the intervening time to provide an updated address.
4.
Local Civil Rule 10.1(a) requires unrepresented parties to notify the Court of any
change in address within 7 days. The Rule further provides that, failure to file such notice “may
result in the imposition of sanctions by the Court.” Id. Indeed, failure to apprise the Court of an
address change may result in the outright dismissal of the case for failure to proceed, or an
administrative termination of the action without prejudice. See, e.g., Allebach v. Cathell, No. 065005, 2009 WL 2147145 (D.N.J. July 15, 2009); Boretsky v. Corzine, No. 08-2265, 2008 WL
2512916 (D.N.J. June 23, 2008).
5.
As the Court does not have a current address for Plaintiff, the matter cannot proceed
at this time. The Court will therefore administratively terminate the proceedings without prejudice
to Plaintiff’s right to reinstate this action by notifying the Court and defendants of his new address
within 30 days.
6.
Failure to provide an updated address within 30 days of the date of the
accompanying Order may result in the matter being dismissed for lack of prosecution.
7.
An appropriate Order follows.
