ORDER

According to the Nevada Department of Corrections ("NDOC") inmate database, Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. Plaintiff has not filed an updated address with this Court. An early inmate mediation is scheduled for Tuesday, February 7, 2017. (ECF No. 7). Defendants seek an order relieving them from portions of the order setting early inmate mediation conference (ECF No. 7) in light of Plaintiff's release from prison and their inability to contact Plaintiff without an updated address. (ECF No. 9 at 1). Specifically, Defendants seek relief from making the necessary arrangements for Plaintiff to appear by video conference. (Id. at 2).

The notification must include proof of service on each opposing party or the party's attorney. Failure to comply with this rule may result in dismissal of the action with prejudice." Nev. Loc. Special R. 2-2. This Court grants Plaintiff until Friday, January 20, 2017 to file his updated address with this Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address on or before Friday, January 20, 2017, the Court will dismiss this action with prejudice and vacate the inmate mediation conference scheduled for Tuesday, February 7, 2017.
