IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Joey Frank Montoya, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Unknown Saeg, et al., 

Defendants.

No. CV-13-01491-PHX-ROS

ORDER 

 On April 8, 2014, Magistrate Judge James F. Metcalf issued a Report and 

Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending this case be dismissed without prejudice 

based on Plaintiff’s failure to complete service. (Doc. 17). Instead of objecting to the 

R&R, Plaintiff filed a motion asking the marshals be instructed to attempt service again. 

(Doc. 19). Normally, the Court would grant Plaintiff’s request and attempt to complete 

service. However, in another case also filed by Plaintiff, the Court received notice that 

Plaintiff’s mailing address is no longer valid. (Doc. 21 in CV-13-1575). Based on that 

notice, it would be futile to take any further action in this case. See Carey v. King, 856 

F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir. 1988) (“An order to show cause why dismissal was not 

warranted or an order imposing sanctions would only find itself taking a round trip tour 

through the United States mail.”). Therefore, the R&R will be rejected and the motion 

requesting service will be denied. But pursuant to Rule 41(b), this case will be dismissed 

based on Plaintiff’s failure to keep his address updated. 

 Accordingly,
