NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS BENSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN DOE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-02931-JST 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On May 28, 2019, Plaintiff filed the instant pro se complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ECF 

No. 1. On October 29, 2019, the Court reviewed the complaint and found that it failed to state any 

cognizable claim for relief under Section 1983, but granted plaintiff leave to amend. ECF No. 14. 

Plaintiff was instructed to file an amended complaint by November 27, 2019, and informed that 

the failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this action without further notice. Id. The 

deadline to file an amended complaint has passed, and plaintiff has not filed an amended 

complaint or otherwise communicated with the Court.1

In addition, it appears that plaintiff’s address has changed and that he has not informed the Court 

of his new address as required by N.D. Cal. L.R. 3-11. Pursuant to Local Rule 3-11, the Court 

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

has been returned to the Court as not deliverable; and the Court fails to receive within 60 days of 

this return a written communication from the pro se party indicating a current address. Mail sent 

to plaintiff was returned as undeliverable on July 18, 2019. ECF No. 11. Plaintiff has not 

communicated with the Court since filing his complaint on July 10, 2019. However, court orders 

and court mail sent to plaintiff on October 29, 2019 have not been returned to the Court as not 

deliverable.
