Defendant.
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation
(“R&R”) of the Honorable Mary Alice Theiler, United States Magistrate Judge, docket
no. 16. The R&R, which was issued on September 20, 2017, recommends that
defendant’s motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute be granted, and that this matter be
dismissed without prejudice because plaintiff failed to apprise the Court and defendant of
his current address. A few days before the R&R was entered, however, on September 14,
2017, plaintiff filed a Notice of Change of Address, docket no. 15, indicating that he is in
custody at the Kitsap County Jail. According to Kitsap County Jail records, which are
available at http://www.kitsapgov.com/sheriff/incustody/incustody.asp, plaintiff has been
in custody since August 8, 2017, is held without bail on one of two pending felony
