UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OBINNA JONES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SOLANO COUNTY MEDICAL 

ADMINISTRATOR, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-2471-EFB P 

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Plaintiff is a former county inmate proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 21, 2016, the postal service returned documents directed to 

plaintiff as “undeliverable.” A party appearing without counsel must keep the court and all 

parties apprised of his current address. E.D. Cal. L.R. 183(b). If mail directed to a plaintiff is 

returned by the postal service and plaintiff fails to notify the court and opposing parties within 63 

days thereafter of his current address, the court may dismiss the action without prejudice for 

failure to prosecute. Id. More than 63 days have passed since the postal service returned the mail 

and plaintiff has not notified the court of his current address. 

In addition, plaintiff did not respond to the court’s order directing him to complete and 

return the form indicating either his consent to jurisdiction of the magistrate judge or request for 

reassignment to a district judge. Accordingly, the clerk will be directed to randomly assign this 

case to a district judge.

 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court randomly assign a United 

States District Judge to this action. 

Further, it is hereby RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(b); E.D. Cal. L.R. 110, 183(b). 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days 

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written 

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned 

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections 

within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v. 

Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991). 

Dated: January 26, 2017.
