An original and one copy of your objections must be received in the office of the United States District Court Clerk no later than fourteen (14) days from the date of the findings and recommendations. The copy will be furnished to the opposing party. Failure to file timely objections may result in waiver of the right to appeal questions of fact.
If you are objecting to the recommendation and also desire to submit new, different, or additional evidence, and to have a hearing for this purpose before either the District Judge or Magistrate Judge, you must, at the time you file your written objections, include the following:
1. Why the record made before the Magistrate Judge is inadequate.
2. Why the evidence to be proffered at the new hearing (if such a hearing is granted) was not offered at the hearing before the Magistrate Judge.
3. The details of any testimony desired to be introduced at the new hearing in the form of an offer of proof, and a copy, or the original, of any documentary or other non-testimonial evidence desired to be introduced at the new hearing.
From this submission, the District Judge will determine the necessity for an additional evidentiary hearing. Mail your objections and "Statement of Necessity" to:

DISPOSITION
Mark Anthony Bell ("Plaintiff") began this action on September 11, 2015, by filing an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit ("Application") (Doc. No. 1) and a pro se Complaint (Doc. No. 2). His Application was incomplete, however, and was denied. On September 14, 2015, I directed him to submit either a completed Application or the statutory filing fee within thirty days. (Doc. No. 3.) I warned him that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of his action without prejudice. (Id. at 2.) In excess of thirty days have now passed, and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to my Order.
The Order and several other Court mailings were returned as undeliverable at Plaintiff's last provided address. (Doc. Nos. 4-6.) It is Plaintiff's responsibility to ensure that the Court is notified of his most current address. To date, he has failed to do so. --------
IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. No. 2) be DISMISSED without prejudice.
So recommended this 26th day of October, 2015.
