ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE

PETITION SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

FOR PETITIONER’S FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE

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

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

On July 19, 2010, the Court issued an order to show cause why the petition should not

be dismissed. On August 3, 2010, the order served on Petitioner was 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, in

pertinent part:

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 opposing parties within sixty-three (63) days
