for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On September 3, 2015, the court issued 

an order directing petitioner to file documents related to his state habeas proceedings or a 

statement indicating he has no responsive documents. ECF No. 21. This order was served on

failed to update this court with his current address as required by Local Rule 183(b). 

Petitioner is warned that his failure to prosecute this action or his failure to comply with 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the court's orders, or the court’s Local Rules will result in a 

recommendation that his entire action be involuntarily dismissed with prejudice. Eastern District 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or 

with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all sanctions 

authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.” 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Petitioner shall show cause, in writing, within 30 days after the filing date of this order, 

why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute; and 

 2. Failure to respond to this court order will result in a recommendation that this case be 

involuntarily dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure.
