ORDER

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on its own motion following an Order directing
Petitioner Eric Lamar Tolbert (“Petitioner”) to update his address and inform the Court whether
he wished to pursue this action. (Doc. No. 3).
Petitioner was released from custody on November 6, 2011, but never updated this Court
with his new address. Therefore, the Court ordered Petitioner to do so and to inform the Court
whether he wished to prosecute this action within thirty days of the Court’s Order. (Doc. No. 3).
The Court warned Petitioner that his failure to obey the Court’s Order would result in the
dismissal of his petition. (Id.). The Court requested that Lynn Summers, Jr., administrator of
Hoke Correctional Institution, forward this Order to Petitioner or to the North Carolina Parole
Commission for forwarding to Petitioner.
Petitioner has failed to respond to the Court’s Order.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
1.

Petitioner’s Petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 for Writ of Habeas Corpus, (Doc.
No. 1), is DISMISSED.

Signed: March 2, 2012
