UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Richard C. Acord is a current or former pretrial detainee proceeding without 

counsel in this civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 18, 2020, the 

court received a notification that a mailing for plaintiff had been returned as undeliverable. 

Plaintiff is required to keep the court apprised of his current address. Local Rule 183(b) 

provides that “[i]f 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.” Plaintiff’s address change was due by April 27, 2020, but he 

failed to file one, and he has not otherwise been in contact with the court. The court orders that 

within forty-five days from the date of this order, plaintiff show cause why this action should not 

be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The clerk’s office is also ordered to assign this case to a
