UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RUSSELL SPEARMAN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

D. MOORE, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0936 JAM AC P 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

 On November 29, 2016, defendant Standig filed a motion to dismiss the claims against 

her. ECF No. 18. According to the attached certificate of service, the motion was served on 

plaintiff at High Desert State Prison. ECF No. 18-3. Plaintiff has not been in custody since at 

least May 22, 2015. ECF No. 4. However, court records also show that on November 29, 2016, a 

recent notification from the court, which was served on plaintiff’s address of record, was returned 

by the postal service. It appears that plaintiff has failed to comply with Local Rule 183(b), which 

requires that a party appearing in propria persona inform the court of any address change. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. If plaintiff files a notice of change of address by January 31, 2017, defendant Standig 

must (i) re-serve the motion to dismiss on plaintiff at his address of record and (ii)file an amended

certificate of service, within seven days of the filing of the notice of change of address. 

 2. If plaintiff has not filed a notice of change of address by January 31, 2017, the 

undersigned will recommend dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute. See L.R. 183(b). 

DATED: December 16, 2016
