REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

This matter arises on the Court’s review of the file. Plaintiff commenced this action on

August 23, 2005. (document # 1) On December 19, 2005, the Court granted Plaintiff in forma

pauperis status and ordered service on Defendant Arpaio. (document # 4) The Court directed

Plaintiff to return the completed service packet on or before January 8, 2006. (Id.) In that same

Order, the Court directed Plaintiff to immediately notify the Court in writing of any change in

his address and warned Plaintiff that failure to do so could result in dismissal of this action. (Id.)

Thereafter, on December 22 and 28, 2005, the Court received returned mail addressed

to Plaintiff marked "undeliverable, released from custody." (documents ## 5, 6) No alternate

address was located. 

Because Plaintiff failed to comply with the Court's Orders that he immediately inform

the Court of any change in his address and that he return a completed service packet by January

8, 2006, on January 18, 2006, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this matter should

not be dismissed.

Plaintiff has not responded to the Order to Show Cause, advised the Court of his current

address, or returned a completed service packet for service on Defendant. In fact, on January

25, 2006, the Court again received mail addressed to Plaintiff marked "undeliverable, released."

(document # 8) 

In view of Plaintiff's repeated failure to notify the Court of his current address in

violation of Court orders, this matter should be dismissed. See Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439,

1440 (9th Cir. 1988)(holding that district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing pro se

plaintiff's complaint for failure to advise the court of his current mailing address.) 

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this matter be DISMISSED without prejudice

for failure to comply with Court orders. 

This recommendation is not an order that is immediately appealable to the Ninth Circuit

Court of Appeals. Any notice of appeal pursuant to Rule 4(a)(1), Federal Rules of Appellate

Procedure, should not be filed until entry of the District Court=s judgment. The parties shall

have ten days from the date of service of a copy of this recommendation within which to file

specific written objections with the Court. See, 28 U.S.C. ' 636(b)(1); Rules 72, 6(a), 6(e),

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Thereafter, the parties have ten days within which to file a

response to the objections. Failure timely to file objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and

Recommendation may result in the acceptance of the Report and Recommendation by the

District Court without further review. See United States v. Reyna- Tapia, 328 F.3d 1114, 1121

(9th Cir. 2003). Failure timely to file objections to any factual determinations of the Magistrate

Judge will be considered a waiver of a party=s right to appellate review of the findings of fact

in an order or judgment entered pursuant to the Magistrate Judge=s recommendation. See, Rule

72, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

DATED this 27th day of February, 2006.
