NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRACEY N. THOMPSON, 

Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

JERRY HALL, 

Defendant. 

Case No.: 16-cv-4706 YGR

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO UPDATE 

ADDRESS AND DISMISSING CASE WITH LEAVE 

TO AMEND

Re: Dkt. No. 9 

On October 7, 2016, the Court issued an order adopting Magistrate Judge James’s Report and 

Recommendation recommending dismissal of this case with leave to amend. (Dkt. No. 8.) Plaintiff 

was ordered to file an amended complaint by no later than November 7, 2016. (Id.) On November 2, 

2016, notice of the Court's decision was returned as undeliverable. (Dkt. No. 9.) 

It is the responsibility of the plaintiff to provide sufficient information to ensure prosecution of 

her action. Plaintiff must keep the Court informed of any change of address and must comply with 

the Court’s orders in a timely fashion. Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11, a party 

proceeding pro se whose address changes while an action is pending must promptly file a notice of 

change of address specifying the new address. See L.R. 3-11(a). The Court may dismiss without 

prejudice a complaint when mail directed to the pro se party by the Court has been returned to the 

Court as not deliverable, and the Court does not receive, within sixty days of such a return, any 

written communication from the pro se party indicating a current address. See L.R. 3-11(b).

United States District Court 

Northern District of California

Accordingly, plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED WITH LEAVE TO AMEND. Plaintiff shall 

provide the court with an updated address and file an amended complaint by no later than January 1, 

2017. The amended complaint must address the deficiencies noted in the Report. More particularly, 

plaintiff must clarify the facts entitling her to relief, the precise relief she seeks in this lawsuit, and 

from whom she seeks the relief. Plaintiff must also establish that the Court has subject matter 

jurisdiction over the case. If plaintiff maintains that subject matter jurisdiction is appropriate as a 

federal question, she must specify the federal law under which she seeks relief. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Date: November 15, 2016
