NOLAN F. LEONARDO,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEPUTY KAIWAI, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-00685-DMR (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

Plaintiff filed the present pro se prisoner complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. All parties 

have consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction, and this matter has been assigned to the 

undersigned Magistrate Judge. Dkts. 5, 21.

On July 25, 2019, mail directed to Plaintiff by the Court was returned to the Clerk of the 

Court with a notation that it was undeliverable and given the following notation: “RTS NIC.” 

Dkt. 16. These acronyms mean “RETURN TO SENDER” and “NOT IN CUSTODY.” There is 

also a yellow return label, which states: “RETURN TO SENDER. NOT DELIVERABLE AS 

ADDRESSED. UNABLE TO FORWARD.” See id. To date, Plaintiff has not updated his 

address with the Court or submitted any further pleadings in this case.

Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11 a party proceeding pro se whose address 

changes while an action is pending must promptly file a notice of change of address specifying the 

new address. See L.R. 3-11(a). The Court may dismiss without prejudice a complaint when: 

(1) mail directed to the pro se party by the Court has been returned to the Court as not deliverable, 

and (2) the Court fails to receive within sixty days of this return a written communication from the 

pro se party indicating a current address. See L.R. 3-11(b).
