IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER CHUNN,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 15-5232 MEJ (PR)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On November 16, 2015, plaintiff, an inmate at the Solano County Jail, filed a pro se

petition for a writ of mandamus. The same day, the clerk of the Court sent a notification to

plaintiff that he must file an in forma pauperis application or pay the full filing fee to avoid

dismissal of the action. (Docket No. 2.) On November 24, 2015, plaintiff filed an in forma

pauperis application. (Docket No. 4.) However, the application was deficient as plaintiff has

failed to submit a copy of his prisoner trust account statement showing transactions for the

last six months. 

On February 25, 2016, the Court granted plaintiff an extension of time of twenty-eight

days to file the missing document. On March 18, 2016, the Court’s February 25, 2016 order

was returned as undeliverable with the notation that plaintiff was not in custody. As of the

date of this order, plaintiff has not filed a notice of change of address or submitted any

further pleadings in this case.

Pursuant to Northern District Local Rule 3-11 a party proceeding pro se must

promptly file a notice of change of address while an action is pending. See 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 L.R. 3-11(b).

More than sixty days have passed since the mail addressed to plaintiff was returned as

undeliverable. Accordingly, the instant civil rights action is DISMISSED without prejudice

pursuant to Rule 3-11 of the Northern District Local Rules. 

The Clerk shall close the file and terminate all pending motions as moot. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
