Davitt v. Castillo et al

Filing 11

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by Magistrate Judge Kevin R. Sweazea. Show Cause Response due by 6/29/2017. (cbf)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
MICHAEL DAVITT,
Plaintiff,
vs.

No. 17-CV-00541 KG-KRS

DR. CASTELLO, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
This matter is before the Court sua sponte. The record reflects that certain mailings to
Plaintiff Michael Davitt were returned as undelivered (see Doc. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). 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.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that, on or before June 29, 2017, Plaintiff shall notify the
Clerk in writing of his current address or otherwise show cause why this action should not be
dismissed.
