DISPOSITION

Patrick Rice (“Plaintiff”) brought this action on October 24, 2016. (Doc. No. 1.) On

January 4, 2017, mail sent to Plaintiff from the Court was returned as undeliverable. (Doc. No. 12.) 

Therefore, on the same date, I directed Plaintiff to provide an updated address and affirm his intent

to continue prosecuting this action within thirty days.1(Doc. No. 13.) Additional mail was returned

as undeliverable (Doc. No. 14.) 

More than thirty days have now passed, and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise

responded to my Order. He was warned that such failure would result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2). (Doc. No. 6.)

IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED THAT Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. No. 1.) be

DISMISSED without prejudice. 

1Local Rule of the Court 5.5(c)(2), states:

It is the duty of any party not represented by counsel to promptly notify the Clerk and

the other parties to the proceedings of any change in his or her address, to monitor

the progress of the case, and to prosecute or defend the action diligently. A party

appearing for himself/herself shall sign his/her pleadings and state his/her address,

zip code, and telephone number. If any communication from the Court to a pro se

plaintiff is not responded to within thirty (30) days, the case may be dismissed

without prejudice. Any party proceeding pro se shall be expected to be familiar with

and follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Loc. R. 5.5(c)(2).
