UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN WILLIAM WALLACE,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNKNOWN,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-mc-80329-KAW 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

On November 26, 2014, Plaintiff John William Wallace, proceeding pro se, filed a

document with the court. Thereafter, this matter was assigned as a miscellaneous action to the 

undersigned to determine whether Mr. Wallace should be allowed to file his action in light of the 

August 18, 2004 order signed by U.S. District Judge Fern Smith that required Plaintiff to obtain 

approval prior to filing any case against the United States. 

Due to the incoherent nature of Plaintiff’s filing, the Court was unable to determine what 

Plaintiff has filed and who he is attempting to sue. Accordingly, on December 19, 2014, 

Plaintiff’s request for pre-filing was denied without prejudice, and Plaintiff was ordered to file an 

amended document on or before January 30, 2015. Plaintiff’s address on file is General Delivery, 

San Francisco, California 94142. On January 26, 2015, the Court’s mail was returned as 

undeliverable. (Dkt. No. 2.) 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 Civil Local Rule 3-11 a party proceeding pro se must keep the Court informed 

of his or her current address while the action is pending. See Civil L.R. 3-11(a) (N.D. Cal. 2014). 

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 passed since the mail addressed to plaintiff was returned as 

undeliverable. The court has not received a notice from plaintiff of a new address. Accordingly, 

the instant action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-11.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
