No. CV 05-4126-PHX-MHM (MEA)

ORDER

This is a civil rights action filed by a county jail inmate. The notice of assignment

mailed to Plaintiff two months ago was returned with a notation that Plaintiff had been

released from jail. See Dkt. #3. Plaintiff has not informed the Court of his new address, and

the jail information line and state prison website contain no information regarding his

whereabouts. It is Plaintiff’s burden to keep the Court apprised of his address, and the Court

need not hold this action in abeyance indefinitely awaiting an updated address that may never

arrive. See Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir. 1988) (per curiam). The Court will

therefore dismiss the action for failure to prosecute. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b).

IT IS ORDERED that the Complaint and this action are dismissed without prejudice.

The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly.

DATED this 16th day of April, 2006.
