JOHN DEW, Plaintiff, v. CHARLES ELLIS, et al., Defendants.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM & ORDER
GEORGETTE CASTNER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se with a Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (See ECF 1). Previously, this Court granted Plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis, (See ECF 12). Subsequently, the SAC was screened and some of Plaintiff s claims proceeded past screening. (See ECF 15 & 16). However, on July 6, 2023, mail sent to Plaintiff by the Clerk was returned as undeliverable at his address of record at the Northern State Prison in Newark, New Jersey. (See ECF 18). Accordingly, on July 19, 2023, this Court administratively terminated this action pursuant to Local Civil Rule 10,1 due to Plaintiffs failure to provide this Court with an updated address. (See ECF 19).
Subsequently, the County of Mercer Office of County Counsel provided this Court with an updated address of Plaintiff. (See ECF 20). Accordingly, the Clerk will be ordered to update Plaintiffs address, reopen this case and reserve this Court's May 31, 2023 Opinion and Order (ECF 15 & 16) on Plaintiff at his new address of record.
Therefore, IT IS on this 26th day of July, 2023, ORDERED that the Clerk shall reopen this case; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall update Plaintiffs address of record as the following: 433 Schindler Drive, Brick, N.J. 08723; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve on Plaintiff by regular U.S. mail at his new address of record: (1) a copy of this Memorandum and Order; and (2) a copy of this Court's May 31, 2023 Opinion and Order (ECF 15 & 16) as well as the documents ordered to be served on Plaintiff as stated in the May 31, 2023 Order (ECF 16).
