UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELIJAH RAY RICH,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. STRATTON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:17-cv-0432 MCE DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this civil rights 

action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States 

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On October 1, 2019, the magistrate judge assigned to this case recommended that this 

matter be dismissed for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with a court order. See

generally ECF No. 10 at 1 (citing Local Rule 110 and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b)). 

Objections were to be filed within fourteen days. See id. To date, no objections have been filed, 

nor has plaintiff communicated with the court in any way.

On October 15, 2019, the findings and recommendations were returned to the court as 

undeliverable. Although the order was returned, plaintiff was properly served. It is plaintiff’s 

responsibility to keep the court apprised of his current address at all times. Pursuant to Local 

Rule 182(f), service of documents at the record address of the party is fully effective.
