United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In Re

RONALD WATSON,

Plaintiff.

Case No. 15-cv-04487-EMC 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On September 30, 2015, mail was sent from the Court to Plaintiff at the only address he 

provided to the court and was returned undelivered on October 16, 2015, and bearing a stamp that 

appears to read "undeliverable as addressed, forwarding order expired.” (Docket No. 4.) Plaintiff 

has not provided any address other than the address to which the undeliverable mail was sent. 

More than sixty days have passed since the mail was 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 a 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). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 7, 2016
