UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JING SHAN ZHOU,

Petitioner,

v.

ALBERTO GONZALES, 

United States Attorney General, 

Respondent. /

No. C 06-5236 MHP (pr)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

Petitioner filed a petition for writ of mandamus while he was in custody at the

Regional Correction Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A reassignment order was mailed

to petitioner using the prisoner number and address he provided. That order, mailed on

December 13, 2006, was returned to the court undelivered on December 26, 2006, and with

no forwarding address. Petitioner has not provided another address for the court to send mail

to him. 

Petitioner has failed to comply with Local Rule 3-11(a) which requires that a party

proceeding pro se must "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. More than sixty days have passed

since the envelope containing the reassignment order was returned to the court undelivered. 

This action is dismissed without prejudice for petitioner's failure to keep the court

informed of his address and comply with Local Rule 3-11(a). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
