MEMORANDUM OPINION

(Dismissing § 2241 Petition Without Prejudice)

By Memorandum Order entered on September 12, 2016, the Court filed Sakyi's
§ 2241 Petition. (ECF No. 2, at 1.) By that same Memorandum Order, the Court
explained to Sakyi that he "must immediately advise the Court of his new address in the
event he is transferred, released, or otherwise relocated while the action is pending." {Id

at 2.) Sakyi was warned that failure to keep the Court apprised of his current address
would result in the dismissal of the action. (Id)

On May 12, 2017, the Clerk mailed Sakyi a Notice and Consent Form to Proceed

Before a United States Magistrate Judge. (ECF No. II.) On May 19, 2017, the Clerk's
letter was returned to the Court by the United States Postal Service marked "RETURN TO

SENDER" and "NOT DELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED." (ECF No. 14.) Sakyi's
failure to keep the Court apprised of his current address indicates his lack of interest in

prosecuting the present action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, the action will be

dismissed without prejudice. Sakyi's Motion to Execute Action on 28 U.S.C. § 2241
Petition (ECF No. 3) will be denied as moot.

An appropriate Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
