UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANNON PLUNK,

 Plaintiff,

v.

TULARE COUNTY, et al., 

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01855-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR 

FAILURE TO PROVIDE A CURRENT 

ADDRESS 

CLERK TO TERMINATE PENDING 

MOTIONS AND CLOSE CASE

Plaintiff is a county inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He has consented to Magistrate 

Judge jurisdiction. (ECF No. 6.) No other parties have appeared in the action.

On April 28, 2016, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a 

claim and gave Plaintiff leave to amend within thirty days. (ECF No. 10.) On May 11, 

2016, the screening order was returned as undeliverable. Plaintiff since has not 

provided the Court with his current address.

Local Rule 183(b) requires a party proceeding pro se to keep the Court apprised 

of his current address: “If mail directed to a plaintiff in propria persona by the Clerk is 

returned by the U.S. Postal service, and if such plaintiff fails to notify the Court and 

opposing parties within sixty-three (63) days thereafter of a current address, the Court

may dismiss the action without prejudice for failure to prosecute.” Here, more than sixtythree days have passed without Plaintiff providing the Court with his current address.

Accordingly, the action is HEREBY DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, based 

on Plaintiff’s failure to provide a current address. The Clerk of Court shall terminate any 

pending motions and close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
