No. C 03-4336 JSW (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, formerly a detainee at the San Francisco County Jail, filed this civil

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, complaining of violations of his civil rights

during his detention there. On May 15, 2006, this Court ordered Plaintiff to provide

further identifying information regarding Defendants so that service could be effected, as

all of the previously issued summonses had been returned unexecuted due to insufficient

identifying information (docket no. 17). In the Court’s order, Plaintiff was informed that

failure to respond to the order would result in dismissal of this matter for failure to

prosecute. 

The Court’s order was later returned to sender. Thereafter, on June 20, 2006, the

Court received a letter from Prisoner Legal Services at the San Francisco Jail, noting that

a change of address form was filed in January 2005, that Plaintiff had not received this

Court’s orders since February 2005, and requesting that further correspondence

regarding Plaintiff’s case be sent to that office. On July 18, 2006, this Court issued an

order directing the Clerk of Court to update Plaintiff’s address, send copies of this

Court’s earlier orders docket numbers 13 and 17 to the new address and granted Plaintiff

an extension of thirty days in which to respond to this Court’s order (docket no. 18). An

additional copy of orders docket numbers 13, 17 and 18 was sent on September 25, 2006

and notation of that was made on the Court’s docket sheet. Neither the original order

docket number 18 nor the additional copies have been returned to the Court undelivered. 

However, since that time, Plaintiff has not communicated with this Court. As

such, this case is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to prosecute and to comply

with a court order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See Link v.

Wabash R.R., 370 U.S. 626, 633 (1962); McKeever v. Block, 932 F.2d 795, 797 (9th Cir.

1991). The clerk shall close the file and enter judgment in this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 5, 2007
