Civil Action No. 7:17cv00048
By: Elizabeth K. Dillon
United States District Judge

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Plaintiff Thomas Nicholson, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. By order entered February 8, 2017, the court conditionally filed this action and, inter
alia, advised Nicholson that he must notify the court in writing immediately upon his transfer or
release, and provide the court with a new address. (Dkt. No. 5.) The court warned Nicholson
that failure to notify the court of a change of address would result in dismissal of the case. (Id.)
On August 31, 2017, a court order was returned to the court as undeliverable and with no
forwarding address. (Dkt. No. 10.) Nicholson has not provided the court with an updated
address; therefore, the court has no means of contacting him. Accordingly, the court will dismiss
Nicholson’s complaint without prejudice. Nicholson is advised that he may refile his claims in a
separate action.
An appropriate order will be entered.
Entered: August 31, 2017.
