[Doc. 1 ]. The Plaintiff was instructed that he must keep the Court apprised of his current address at all times by promptly filing a “Notice of Change of Address” with the Court, and that the failure to do so may result in this case's dismissal for lack of prosecution. [See Order of Instructions], It appears that the Plaintiff has been transferred to the Wake Correctional Center,however, the Plaintiff has not informed the Court of his change of address.
This information was gleaned from the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections' website.
