MEMORANDUM OPINION
By: Robert S. Ballou
United States District Judge

Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
By order entered March 21, 2023, the court directed the plaintiff to notify the court in writing
immediately upon plaintiff’s transfer or release and provide a new address. Plaintiff was advised
that a failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action without prejudice.
On May 2, 2023, mail from the court to the plaintiff was returned as undeliverable,
indicating that plaintiff had been released from custody. On further inquiry, the court was
advised that plaintiff had been released from custody on March 28, 2023. To date, plaintiff has
not advised the court of a new address. Accordingly, the court will dismiss the action without
prejudice. Plaintiff may refile the claims in a separate action once plaintiff is prepared to comply
with the noted conditions.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and accompanying
Order to plaintiff.
Enter: May 19, 2023
