days or face dismissal.2

 On January 12, 2015, the order sent to Hunter was returned as

undeliverable because it was unclaimed. 

Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11 a party proceeding pro se whose address

changes while an action is pending must promptly file a notice of change of address specifying

the new address.3

 The court may, without prejudice, dismiss a complaint when: (1) mail directed

to the pro se party by the court has been returned to the court as not deliverable, and (2) the court

fails to receive within sixty days of this return a written communication from the pro se party

indicating a current address.4 

More than sixty days have passed since the mail sent to Hunter by the court was returned

as undeliverable on January 12, 2015. The court has not received a notice from Hunter of a new

address. 

Accordingly, the instant complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Rule 3-

11 of the Northern District Local Rules. The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions, enter

judgment, and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
