Civil Action No. 7:20cv00208
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By: Hon. Thomas T. Cullen
United States District Judge

Plaintiff Joseph Donald Greene, proceeding pro se, filed this civil action under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. By conditional filing orders entered April 20 and July 1, 2020, the court advised Greene
that he must notify the court in writing immediately upon his transfer or release and must
provide the court with his new address. (See ECF Nos. 2 and 11). On April 21, 2021, a
memorandum opinion and two orders mailed to Greene were returned to the court as
undeliverable and with no forwarding address. (See ECF No. 25.) Greene has not provided the
court with an updated address. Accordingly, the court will dismiss this action without prejudice
for failure to comply with the court’s order. The court notes that this dismissal is without
prejudice to Greene’s opportunity to refile his claims in a separate civil action, subject to the
applicable statute of limitations.
ENTERED this 4th day of May, 2021.
