MICHAEL ARTHUR DAVIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALAMEDA COUNTY SHERIFF 

DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 20-cv-00542-HSG 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, a pretrial detainee housed at Santa Rita Jail at the time he filed this complaint, has 

filed this pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, challenging his placement and 

retention in administrative segregation while housed at Santa Rita Jail. See generally Dkt. No. 1. 

Plaintiff has not communicated with the Court since he filed his initial complaint. All the court 

orders and notices served on plaintiff have been returned to the Court as undeliverable with the 

notation that plaintiff is no longer in custody. Dkt. Nos. 4, 9, 12, 13. The Alameda County 

Sheriff’s Office has informed the Court that plaintiff is no longer in custody. Dkt. No. 11. The 

Court is unable to locate plaintiff in the CDCR Inmate Locator. 

Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11, a party proceeding pro se must promptly 

file a notice of change of address while an action is pending. See N.D. Cal. L.R. 3-11(a). The 

Court may, without prejudice, dismiss a complaint when: (1) mail directed to the pro se party by 

the Court has been returned to the court as not deliverable, and (2) the Court fails to receive within 

sixty days of this return a written communication from the pro se party indicating a current 

address. See L.R. 3-11(b). The first court notice was returned as undeliverable on February 6, 

2020. Dkt. No. 4. More than sixty days have passed since the mail addressed to plaintiff was 

returned as undeliverable. The Court has not received a notice from plaintiff of a new address.
