MEMORANDUM AND ORDER administratively terminating this case and dismissing all pending motion to dismiss, etc.. Signed by Judge Kevin McNulty on 12/8/2015. (nr, )

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

DEVENDRA SINGH,
Plaintiff,

Civ. No. 15-0779 (KM)

V.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

ERIC H. HOLDER, JR. et al.,
I)efendants.

The plaintiff Devendra Singh, was an immigration detainee at the Fludson County
Correctional Facility in Kearney, New Jersey. 1-Te is proceeding pro se with a civil rights
complaint. Presently pending before the Court are three motions to dismiss his complaint, filed
by various defendants.
The Court never received any response to the motions to dismiss from Mr. Singh. Replies
filed by some defendants, however, indicated that they had received a response. Accordingly, on
November 16, 2015, this Court filed an order directing plaintiff to submit copies of his responses
to the Clerk so that they could be filed.
My November 16, 2015 order was sent to Mr. Singh at his address of record, i.e., the
Hudson County Correctional Facility. On December 2, 2015, that Order was returned to the
Court as undeliverable. As of today, Mr. Singh has not informed the Court of his new address, as
required by Local Civil Rule 10.1. See L. Civ. R. 10.1(a) (“Counsel and/or unrepresented parties
must advise the Court of any change in their or their client’s address within seven days of being
apprised of such change by filing a notice of said change with the Clerk.”). Accordingly, I will
will administratively terminate this case. All outstanding motions are dismissed without
prejudice.

Mr. Singh, by supplying his current address, may seek to reopen this case. If and when
that occurs, the defendants may refile and re-serve their motions to dismiss within twenty-one
days of the reopening of this action.
Accordingly, IT IS this 8th day of December, 2015,
ORDERED that the Clerk shall administratively terminate this case for plaintiffs failure
to comply with L. Civ. R. 10.1, with the right to reopen upon plaintiff’s updating his contact
information and satisfying the appropriate Rules; and it is further
ORDERED that defendants’ motions to dismiss (Dkt. Nos. 29, 30, and 33) are dismissed
without prejudice in light of this administrative termination, and that defendants may refile and
serve their motions to dismiss within twenty-one (21) days of the reopening of this case, should
that occur.
