Petitioner/Plaintiff (hereinafter “Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed a complaint seeking
relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 form. By order dated March 21, 2012,
Plaintiff was given an opportunity to provide the necessary information and paperwork to bring the
case into proper form for evaluation and possible service of process. Plaintiff did not receive the
order, as it was returned to the court as undeliverable mail, stamped “UNDELIVERABLE, Return
to Sender.” Additionally, the words “Inmate Released” were handwritten on the returned envelope.
Plaintiff has not provided the court with a new address at which she receives mail, and the record
indicates no attempt by Plaintiff to contact the court since the complaint was transferred. The case
is dismissed, without prejudice, pursuant to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See
Link v. Wabash Railroad Company, 370 U.S. 626 (1962).
