UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In Re.

JOSEPH TURNER, 

Plaintiff.

 /

No. C 15-203 SI (pr)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Mail was sent on January 14, 2015 from the court to plaintiff at the prison address he

provided on his initial filing. The mail was returned to the court undelivered on February 25,

2015 marked "return to sender" and "discharged," indicating the plaintiff-prisoner had been

released from custody. Docket # 7. Plaintiff has not provided any address other than the one

to which the undeliverable mail was sent. More than sixty days have passed since the mail was

returned to the court undelivered. Plaintiff has failed to comply with Local Rule 3-11(a) which

requires that a party proceeding pro se must "promptly file with the Court and serve upon all

opposing parties a Notice of Change of Address specifying the new address" when his address

changes. Local Rule 3-11(b) allows the court to dismiss a complaint without prejudice when

mail directed to a pro se party is returned as not deliverable and the pro se party fails to file a

notice of his current address within sixty days of the return of the undelivered mail. For the

foregoing reasons, this action is dismissed without prejudice because plaintiff failed to keep the

court informed of his address in compliance with Local Rule 3-11(a). The clerk shall close the

file. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
