UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

FORREST KENDRID, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

DAVID, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:24-cv-1489 DJC SCR P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a former state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action under 42 

U.S.C. §1983. In an order filed June 20, 2024, the court found service of the complaint 

appropriate on all defendants. (ECF No. 4.) While defendants have been served and have filed 

an answer, documents that the court served on plaintiff were returned by the Postal Service. (See 

Docket Entries on July 12, 2024; Aug. 14, 2024; Sept. 4, 2024; Oct. 15, 2024.) On October 2, 

this court recommended this action be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to keep the court apprised 

of his address and failure to prosecute. (ECF No. 17.) 

It has come to the court’s attention that on November 12, 2024, plaintiff filed a change of 

address in another case pending in this court, Kendrid v. Marzan, No. 2:22-cv-2301 TLN CSK P. 

As a one-time courtesy, the court takes judicial notice of that filing and the Clerk of the Court has 

changed plaintiff’s address on the docket in the present case. Accordingly, this court will vacate

the October 2 findings and recommendations. However, plaintiff is warned that if he fails to keep 

the court apprised of his current address, this court will recommend this action be dismissed. 

 It appears that plaintiff did not receive copies of the order finding service appropriate. It 

will be re-served on plaintiff. In addition, by separate order, the court will refer this case to the 

court’s early Alternative Dispute Resolution program and stay the proceedings to permit the 

parties to attempt to resolve this case by settlement. 

 For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that 

1. The findings and recommendation filed October 2, 2024 (ECF No. 17) are vacated; 

and 

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of the court’s June 20, 2024 order 

(ECF No. 4) on plaintiff along with the copy of this order. 

DATED: December 10, 2024
