UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ELRADER BROWNING, III, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

M. BURKHART, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:21-cv-0978 AC P 

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed this civil 

rights action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

 On June 26, 2023, plaintiff’s second amended complaint was screened. ECF No. 29. At 

that time, plaintiff was directed to complete the notice on how to proceed form and file it with the 

court within fourteen days. Id. at 8-9. On July 17, 2023, the court’s order was returned as 

“Undeliverable, Return to Sender; Unable to Forward.” 

 Although it appears from the file that plaintiff’s copy of the order was returned, plaintiff 

was properly served. It is the plaintiff’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current 

address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of 

the party is fully effective.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall randomly assign a 

District Judge to this matter. 

 IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED without prejudice 

for failure to obey a court order. See Local Rule 110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen after 

being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections with 

the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and 

Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time 

waives the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 

1991).
