ORDER OF DISMISSAL; DENYING

LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

(Docket No. 2)

On February 11, 2008, plaintiff, a California prisoner then incarcerated at San Quentin

State Prison and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983; together with the complaint plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma

pauperis (“IFP”). On April 7, 2008, the Court mailed plaintiff a notice that his case had been

reassigned to the undersigned; on April 11, 2008, said notice was returned to the Court as

undeliverable because plaintiff was not at the address he had provided to the Court in his

complaint. 

Pursuant to the Civil Local Rules of this district, “a party proceeding pro se whose

address changes while an action is pending must promptly file with the Court and serve upon

all opposing parties a Notice of Change of Address specifying the new address.” See Civ. L.

R. 3-11(a). Where mail directed to such party “has been returned to the Court as not

deliverable” and “the Court fails to receive within 60 days of this return a written

dismiss the complaint without prejudice.” See Civ. L.R. 3-11(b). 

Here, sixty days have passed since plaintiff’s mail was returned to the Court as

undeliverable, and plaintiff has not notified the Court of his correct current address. 

Accordingly, the above-titled action is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice and leave to

proceed IFP is hereby DENIED.

The Clerk shall close the file.

This order terminates Docket No. 2.

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
