Civil Action No. 7:16cv00480
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By: Norman K. Moon
United States District Judge

By order entered October 13, 2016, the court conditionally filed Williams’ complaint
brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and advised Williams that he must notify the court
immediately upon his transfer or release and provide the court with a new address. The court
warned Williams that failure to notify the court of a change of address would result in dismissal
of his case. On December 29, 2017, a court order that was sent to Williams was returned to the
court as undeliverable, with no forwarding address and indicating that Williams had been
released from incarceration. Williams has not provided the court with an updated address and,
therefore, the court has no means of contacting him. Accordingly, I will dismiss Williams’
complaint without prejudice. Williams is advised that he may refile his claims in a separate
action, subject to the applicable statute of limitations.
