ORDER RE PLAINTIFF’S
MAILING ADDRESS

Case No. 4:14-cv-119

On September 25, 2014, plaintiff Jose Doe (“Doe”) submitted for filing a proposed pro se
complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). On the day those documents
were submitted, the Clerk’s Office mailed a “Notice of Direct Assignment” to the address provided
by plaintiff. On October 10, 2014, that mailing was returned to the Clerk’s Office as undeliverable.
The court will not rule on plaintiff’s motion to proceed IFP or screen plaintiff’s proposed complaint
until it confirms that it has a valid mailing address for plaintiff.
The Clerk’s Office is directed to mail a copy of this order to the address provided by
plaintiff. If plaintiff receives that mailing, plaintiff is directed to contact the court to confirm that
the address he originally provided is correct. If that mailing cannot be delivered and plaintiff has
not provided the court with updated contact information by the time the mailing is returned as

1

undeliverable, the undersigned will recommend that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
Dated this 16th day of October, 2014.
