WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Eric Scott Johnston,

Plaintiff,

v. 

State of Arizona, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-19-08000-PCT-JJT (ESW)

ORDER 

Plaintiff Eric Scott Johnston filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. 1). The Court screened Plaintiff’s Complaint and found a stay to be 

appropriate pursuant to Gilbertson v. Albright, 381 F.3d 965, 981 (9th Cir. 2004) (Doc. 7 

at 6). On April 19, 2019, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Status (Doc. 8), informing the Court 

that his criminal case was terminated on January 16, 2019. Plaintiff’s Notice of Status

reflects a change of address for which Plaintiff has not filed a Notice of Change of Address 

as required by the Court’s Order of April 4, 2019 (Doc. 7 at 7). 

On June 27, 2019, the Court lifted the stay imposed in this matter and ordered that 

Plaintiff complete a service packet for Defendant Meza who was ordered to answer Counts 

One and Two of Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 9 at 4). The mailed June 27, 2019 Order and 

the April 4, 2019 Order (Docs. 7, 9) were not returned to the Court as undeliverable. 

Therefore, the receipt of both orders at Plaintiff’s address of record may be presumed. 

However, because the June 27, 2019 Order (Doc. 9) and attached packet may have been

mailed to Plaintiff’s address of record, rather than his address reflected on his most recent 

filing,

IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of Court re-mail a copy of the Court’s Order and 

attachments (Doc. 7), this Order, and a service packet to the Plaintiff at 5129 N. 15th Street 

#516, Phoenix, AZ 85014. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Plaintiff file a Notice of Change of Address, 

if his address of record has changed, no later than ten (10) days from the date of filing of 

this Order. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the failure to return the completed service 

packet to the Court within 21 days of the filing of this Order may result in this matter being 

dismissed without further notice to Plaintiff.

Dated this 7th day of January, 2020.

Honorable Eileen S. Willett
