UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IGNACIO RODRIGUEZ AVILES,

Petitioner,

v.

FRESNO COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT, 

Respondent.

 /

1:12-CV-01572 GSA HC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY PETITION

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On September 25, 2012, the Court issued new case documents, an order authorizing in forma

pauperis status, and an order directing Petitioner to file a form indicating consent or decline to the

jurisdiction of the magistrate judge. The documents and orders were served on Petitioner. On

October 12, 2012, the documents and orders served on Petitioner were returned by the U.S. Postal

Service as undeliverable.

Pursuant to Local Rule 183(b), a party appearing in propria persona is required to keep the

court apprised of his or her current address at all times. Local Rule 183(b) provides:

A party appearing in propria persona shall keep the Court and

opposing parties advised as to his or her current address. If mail

directed to a plaintiff in propria persona by the Clerk is returned by the

U.S. Postal Service, and if such plaintiff fails to notify the Court and

U.S. District Court

opposing parties within sixty-three (63) days thereafter of a current

address, the Court may dismiss the action without prejudice for failure

to prosecute.

In the instant case, sixty-three days have passed since Petitioner's mail was returned, and he

has not notified the Court of a changed address. However, it is unclear whether Petitioner has in fact

moved since an order issued thereafter was not returned by the U.S. Postal Service. Therefore, the

Court will order Petitioner to show cause why the petition should not be dismissed. Petitioner must

advise the Court of his current address, and he must comply with the Court’s order directing him to

file a consent/decline form. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of the petition.

ORDER

Accordingly, Petitioner is ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE why the petition should not be

dismissed for failure to keep the Court apprised of his current address within fourteen (14) days of

the date of service of this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
