NORMAN R. DESNOYES,
Plaintiff,
DECISION and ORDER
10-CV-0152S(F)

-vBRIAN FISCHER, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff has filed this pro se action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. 1983. It now
appears that the Court does not have plaintiff‘s current address. On December 22, 2011,
the Court mailed to plaintiff a Scheduling Order on defendants’ motion for summary
judgment and on January 3, 2012, the mail was returned from plaintiff’s former correctional
facility with a notation that plaintiff had been paroled as of June 13, 2011. Based on this,
it appears that plaintiff has failed to provide the Court with an address where papers may
be served.
Local Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(d) requires that a party proceeding pro se “must
furnish the Court with a current address at which papers may be served on the litigant. ....
In addition, the Court must have a current address at all times. Thus a pro se litigant must
notify the Court immediately in writing of any change of address. Failure to do so may
result in dismissal of the case with prejudice." Local Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(d).
Accordingly, plaintiff is directed to provide the Court with an address where
papers may be served by May 23, 2012 or the case will be dismissed with prejudice
without further order of the Court.

If plaintiff fails to provide an address by May 23, 2012, the Clerk of the Court is
directed to close this case as dismissed with prejudice without further order of the Court.
