ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff, a detainee at the San Francisco County Jail filed a pro se civil rights

complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.1

 On August 3, 2015, the court clerk sent a notice to

plaintiff informing him that his case had been assigned to a magistrate judge. (Docket No.

6.) On August 24, 2015, the clerk’s notice was returned to the court as undeliverable

because plaintiff was no longer in custody. (Docket No. 7.) As of the date of this order,

plaintiff has not updated his address with the court or otherwise communicated with the

court. 

Pursuant to Northern District Civil 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 Civil L.R. 3-11(a). The court may, without

prejudice, dismiss a complaint when: (1) mail directed to the pro se party by the court has

been returned to the court as not deliverable, and (2) the court fails to receive within sixty

days of this return a written communication from the pro se party indicating a current

address. See Civil L.R. 3-11(b). More than sixty days have now passed since the mail

sent to plaintiff by the court was returned as undeliverable. The court has not received a
