Plaintiffs failure to contact the Court and provide a current address indicates his lack of interest in prosecuting this action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, the action will be dismissed without prejudice. 1 The mail is also marked "Fairfax" with another indistinguishable word or abbreviation beginning and ending with the letter "P."
