Plaintiff,

(VARLAN/GUYTON)
DERRICK SCHOFIELD, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM
This is a pro se prisoner's civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983. On
September 16, 2013, the Court granted the defendant's motion for extension of time to
answer. Plaintiff's copy of that order, which was mailed to him at his last known address of
Morgan County Correctional Complex, was returned undelivered on September 26, 2013,
with the notation "parole." In the Court's initial order, plaintiff was ordered to inform the
Court immediately of any address changes. Plaintiff was also advised that failure to provide
a correct address within ten days following any change of address would result in the
dismissal of this action.
Accordingly, this action will be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for plaintiff's
failure to prosecute and to comply with the orders of this court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b);
Jourdan v. Jabe, 951 F.2d 108 (6th Cir. 1991). The Court will CERTIFY that any appeal
from this action would not be taken in good faith and would be totally frivolous. See Fed.
R. App. P. 24.
AN APPROPRIATE ORDER WILL ENTER.
s/ Thomas A. Varlan
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
