UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On January 16, 2014, this Court issued an Order to show Cause to Defendants Paramjit Singh 

and Ravinder Singh (the “Singhs”) for the Singhs‟ failure to maintain a current address with the Court. 

(Doc. 23.) The Singhs responded to the Order to Show Cause, stating that an inadvertent error led them to 

list their address as 5706 W. Shields Avenue, when in fact, their address was 3706 W. Shields Avenue. 

(Doc. 24.) The Court accepted this representation and discharged the Order to Show Cause. (Doc. 27.) 

The Court served the Order Discharging the Order to Show Cause on 3706 W. Shields Avenue, Fresno, 

CA 93722, as requested by the Singhs. However, the Order was again returned as undeliverable. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 182(f), “[e]ach appearing attorney and pro se party is under a continuing 

duty to notify the Clerk and all other parties of any change of address or telephone number of the 

attorney or the pro se party.” Local Rule 183(a) further provides that “[a]ll obligations placed on 

RONALD MOORE,

 Plaintiff,

without prejudice for failure to prosecute.”
