Barnet v. LNU

Filing 13

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by Chief Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Garza. Show Cause Response due by 5/24/2019. (atc)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
CLAYTON LANDON BARNET,
Plaintiff,
v.

No. CV 18-381 MV/CG

FNU LNU, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. The record reflects that certain
mailings to Plaintiff Clayton Landon Barnet were returned as undelivered. See (Docs.
11, 12). 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 of this case without further notice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, by May 24, 2019, Plaintiff shall notify the
Clerk in writing of his current address or otherwise show cause why this action should
not be dismissed.
