Kristich v. Metropolitan Detention Center

Filing 25

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by Magistrate Judge Gregory J. Fouratt. Show Cause Response due by 3/31/2017. (jlr)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
ORIN KRISTICH,
Plaintiff,
v.

Civ. No. 15-1147 JB/GJF

METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. The record reflects that certain mailings
to Plaintiff Orin Kristich were returned as undelivered (see ECF Nos. 20, 21, 22). It appears that
Plaintiff has been transferred or released from custody without advising the Court of his new
address, as required by D.N.M. LR-Civ. 83.6, thus severing contact with the Court. Because
Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s local rules, he will be required to show cause why
this action should not be dismissed. See Bradenburg v. Beaman, 632 F.2d 120, 122 (10th Cir.
1980) (“It is incumbent on litigants, even those proceeding pro se, to follow the federal rules of
procedure. . . The same is true of simple, nonburdensome local rules . . ..” (citation omitted)).
Failure to comply with this Order may result in dismissal without further notice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, within twenty-one (21) days from entry of this
Order, Plaintiff shall notify the Clerk in writing of his current address or otherwise show cause
why this action should not be dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
