IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALFRED JAMES FOY, No. 2:11-cv-3262-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

VALLEJO POLICE DEPARTMENT,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. 

On August 5, 2016, the undersigned issued findings and recommendations that

this action be dismissed for plaintiff’s lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules

and orders. Plaintiff failed to file his pretrial statement as ordered, and court orders sent to

plaintiff were return as undeliverable. Plaintiff filed objections to the findings and

recommendations stating that he was transferred to another facility and completed a notice of

change of address, which he indicates may not have been received. He has now updated his

address with the court, and indicates he wishes to proceed to trial. Accordingly, the findings and

recommendations will be vacated, and this case will proceed.
