UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHILIP BAUTISTA,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 08CV0685-LAB (LSP)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

vs.

BANK OF AMERICA & OLD REPUBLIC

EQUITY CREDIT SERVICES,

Defendants.

By an order entered May 23, 2008, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this

action should not be dismissed for failure to invoke the Court’s jurisdiction. Plaintiff was

ordered to show cause no later than 21 calendar days from the date the order was issued,

and was warned that if he failed to show cause as ordered, this action would be dismissed

without further notice to him. Plaintiff filed no response within the time permitted, nor did he

attempt to show cause in any other way. 

On June 16, 2008, mail sent to Plaintiff was returned as undeliverable. Apparently,

Plaintiff failed to keep the Court advised as to his current address, in violation of Civil Local

Rule 83.11(b). Plaintiff’s failure to comply with applicable rules does not, however, excuse

his failure to respond as ordered. See, e.g., Derden v. Maricopa County, 2008 WL 740315,

plaintiff apparently failed to reply to motion to dismiss because she failed to provide the court

with an accurate address as required under local rules).

For reasons set forth in the Court’s order of May 23, 2008, this action is therefore

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The pending motion to dismiss brought by Defendant

Old Republic Equity Credit Services is DENIED AS MOOT.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 18, 2008
