UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WENDELL COLEMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

NAPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 18-cv-04751-SI 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 25

On December 23, 2019, mail that had been sent from the court to plaintiff at the address he 

provided to the court was returned undelivered, bearing a stamp that stated “return to sender – not 

deliverable as addressed.” Docket No. 24. Plaintiff has not updated his address and more than sixty 

days have passed since the mail was first returned to the court undelivered. Plaintiff has failed to 

comply with Local Rule 3-11(a) which requires a party proceeding pro se to “promptly file with the 

court and serve upon all opposing parties a Notice of Change of Address specifying the new address” 

when his address changes. Local Rule 3-11(b) allows the court to dismiss a complaint without 

prejudice when mail directed to a pro se party is returned as not deliverable and the pro se party 

fails to send written notice of his current address within sixty days of the return of the undelivered 

mail. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice because plaintiff failed to keep the court 

informed of his address in compliance with Local Rule 3-11(a).
