Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Plaintiff, a Virginia prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. By
Memorandum Opinion and Order entered on March 19, 2019, the Court dismissed the claims
against Lt. Ward, and dismissed the Fourteenth Amendment claims. (ECF No. 14, at 1.) By
Memorandum Order entered on April 17, 2019, the Court directed service on the remaining
Defendants. Both Defendants have been served and counsel noted an appearance.

By Memorandum Order entered on July 3,2018, the Court instructed Plaintiff that he must
keep the Court apprised of his current address and that the failure to do so would result in dismissal
of the action. On May 9, 2019, the Court received a letter from the Hampton Roads Regional Jail
notifying the Court that Plaintiff had been released. Since that date. Plaintiff has failed to provide

a current address to the Court. Thus, it appears that Plaintiff lacks interest in the litigation of this
action. Because the jail provided the Court with a last known address for Plaintiff, the Court

provided Plaintiff with an opportunity to notify the Court of his desire to continue litigating the
action.
