ORDER DISMISSING CASE. Signed by Judge Algenon L. Marbley on 7/6/2011. (cw)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
HARRY E. BISHOP,
Petitioner,
Civil Action 2:11-cv-00301
Judge Algenon L. Marbley
Magistrate Judge E.A. Preston Deavers

v.

WARDEN BELMONT CORRECTIONAL
INSTITUTION,
Respondent.
ORDER
On April 15, 2011, the Court ordered Petitioner to pay his filing fee or file an application
to proceed without prepayment of fees. (Order, ECF No. 7.) The Court cautioned Petitioner that
failure to comply would result in dismissal of the case. The relevant twenty-one day period has
passed and the record does not reflect that Petitioner has taken the requisite action. Additionally,
Petitioner has failed to prosecute his case, as evidenced by his neglect in keeping the Court
apprised of a change in his address. (See ECF No. 8); see also Walker v. Cognis Oleo Chem.,
LLC, No. 1:07cv289, 2010 WL 717275, *1 (S.D. Ohio Feb. 26, 2010) (“By failing to keep the
Court apprised of his current address, Plaintiff demonstrates a lack of prosecution of his
action.”). Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
