in custody,” and “Reg. 2,” indicating the inmate may have been paroled to Region 2. Petitioner has

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 Petitioner failed to keep the

Court informed of his address in compliance with Local Rule 3-11(a). The Clerk shall close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
