further communication with the Court.

Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11, a party proceeding pro se must 

promptly file a notice of change of address while an action is pending. See L.R. 3-11(a). 

The Court may, without prejudice, dismiss a complaint when: (1) mail directed to the pro 

se party by the Court has been returned to the Court as not deliverable, and (2) the Court 

fails to receive within sixty days of this return a written communication from the pro se

party indicating a current address. See L.R. 3-11(b). 

More than sixty days have passed since the mail addressed to Petitioner was 

returned as undeliverable. The Court has not received a notice from Petitioner regarding a 

new address. Accordingly, the instant civil rights action is subject to dismissal pursuant to 

Rule 3-11 of the Northern District Local Rules. 

To date, Petitioner has also failed to pay the filing fee. See supra at 1. 

Accordingly, the case may also be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee in the time 

provided. 

Based on the foregoing this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. 

The Clerk shall terminate any pending motions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
