UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCUS LEON LINTHECOME,

 Plaintiff,

v.

SANDRA ALFARO, et al., 

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-01438-LJO-MJS (PC)

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

TO DISMISS ACTION FOR FAILURE TO 

PROVIDE A CURRENT ADDRESS 

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 2, 2015, the undersigned issued 

findings and recommendations to deny Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma 

pauperis and to require Plaintiff to pay the applicable filing fee within twenty-one days. 

(ECF No. 9.) On April 27, 2015, the District Judge assigned to the case adopted the 

findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 11.) The order adopting the findings and 

recommendations was returned to the Court as undeliverable, noting that Plaintiff was 

paroled. Plaintiff since has not provided the Court with his current address.

Local Rule 183(b) requires a party proceeding pro se to keep the Court apprised 

of his current address: “If mail directed to a plaintiff in propria persona by the Clerk is 

returned by the U.S. Postal service, and if such plaintiff fails to notify the Court and 

opposing parties within sixty-three (63) days thereafter of a current address, the Court

may dismiss the action without prejudice for failure to prosecute.” Here, more than sixtythree days have passed without Plaintiff providing the Court with his current address.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY RECOMMENDED that the action be DISMISSED 

WITHOUT PREJUDICE, based on Plaintiff’s failure to provide a current address.

The findings and recommendation are submitted to the United States District 

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within 

fourteen (14) days after being served with the findings and recommendation, any party 

may file written objections with the Court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a 

document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and 

Recommendation.” Any reply to the objections shall be served and filed within fourteen 

(14) days after service of the objections. The parties are advised that failure to file 

objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. 

Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 839 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 

F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
