Defendants

CIVIL NO. 1:12-CV-2273
(Chief Judge Conner)

ORDER
Plaintiff, Jaason McAllister, a former inmate confined in the Forest State
Correctional Institution (“SCI-Forest”), Marienville, Pennsylvania, filed the abovecaptioned action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On July 2, 2015, and July 10, 2015, mail was returned to the court as
“undeliverable,” and “unable to forward.” (Docs. 93, 94). An inquiry from the
Clerk’s Office revealed that plaintiff is out of custody and has no current address.
See (Docket Entry dated July 7, 2015).
The court notes that a pro se plaintiff has the affirmative obligation to keep
the court informed of his address. Should an address change in the course of this
litigation, the plaintiff shall immediately inform the court of such change, in writing.
If the court is unable to communicate with the plaintiff because he has failed to
notify the court of his address, the plaintiff will be deemed to have abandoned the
lawsuit.

Plaintiff has not communicated with the court since the filing of a motion to
stay on April 16, 2015. (Doc. 86). The court’s inquiry indicates that plaintiff has
been released from SCI-Forest. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that plaintiff has
abandoned this lawsuit.
Accordingly, this 11th day of December, 2015, it is hereby ORDERED that
within twenty (20) days of the date of this order, plaintiff shall file with the court his
current address. Failure to provide the court with his current address will result in
the above-captioned action being dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41, for failure to prosecute and comply with a court order.

/S/ CHRISTOPHER C. CONNER

United States District Court
Middle District of Pennsylvania
