DISPOSITION

Eugene Brown (“Plaintiff”) began this action on December 17, 2014, by filing a

Complaint (Doc. No. 2) and an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and

Affidavit (“Application”) (Doc. No. 1). On December 23, 2014, the Court granted his

Application and notified him that his Complaint was deficient - he was allowed thirty days

to file an amended complaint. (Doc. No. 3.) Plaintiff was warned that failure to comply with

the Court’s Order might result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice. (Id.) 

Mail to Plaintiff has been returned to the Court as undeliverable since December 23,

2014. (Doc. Nos. 4, 5, 6, 8.) On January 25, 2015, an Order directing Plaintiff to provide

his current address was sent to his last known address but was returned as undeliverable. 

(Doc. No. 8.)

Now, in excess of thirty days have passed and Plaintiff has not complied or otherwise

responded to the Court’s Orders. The Court therefore recommends that this action be

2

Case 2:14-cv-00146-BSM Document 9 Filed 03/12/15 Page 2 of 3
dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2).1

IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED that:

1. Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. No. 2) be DISMISSED without prejudice.

2. All pending motions be DENIED as moot.

3. The Court certify, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma

pauperis appeal from any Order adopting these recommendations would not be taken in good

faith.

Dated this 12th day of March, 2015.
