party not represented by counsel to promptly notify the Clerk and the other parties to the proceedings of any

change in his or her address, to monitor the progress of the case, and to prosecute or defend the action

diligently. A party appearing for himself/herself shall sign his/her pleadings and state his/her address, zip

code, and telephone number. If any communication from the Court to a pro se plaintiff is not responded to
