UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN C. COLLINS,

Petitioner,

v.

PAUL SHULTZ,

Respondent.

 /

1:05-CV-0094 AWI JMD HC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE

ACTION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE 

 Petitioner Steven C. Collins is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On October 17, 2007, the court served Plaintiff with an order reassigning this action to a

new Magistrate Judge. However, the pleadings were returned to the Court by the U.S. Postal

Service on October 30, 2007, marked “Undeliverable - No Longer At This Facility.” 

Pursuant to Local Rule 83-183(b), a party appearing in propria persona is required to keep

the court apprised of his or her current address at all times. Local Rule 83-183(b) provides, in

pertinent part:

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 (60) days

thereafter of a current address, the Court may dismiss the action

without prejudice for failure to prosecute.

In the instant case, well over sixty days has passed since Plaintiff’s mail was returned and he has

not notified the court of a current address. Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. Plaintiff to SHOW CAUSE within TWENTY (20) days of the date of service of

this Order, why the action should not be dismissed for failing to prosecute by

keeping the court apprised of his current address.

2. Petitioner is forewarned that his failure to comply with this order will result in

dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
