Civil Action No. 7:15cv00671
DISMISSAL ORDER
By: Norman K. Moon
United States District Judge

On March 10, 2016, the court conditionally filed Patterson’s petition for writ of habeas
corpus filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The order was returned to the court as undeliverable
and marked “Return to Sender: Not at this address.” No forwarding address was given and
Patterson has not provided the court with an updated address. Inasmuch as the court has no
means of contacting Patterson, it is hereby ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without
prejudice and STRICKEN from the active docket of this court. Patterson is advised that he
may refile his claims in a separate action.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the petitioner at his last known
address.
