HEATHER HUFFMAN, Plaintiff, v. JOSHUA GREGORY, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court sua sponte. On August 16, 2018, mail that this Court sent to plaintiff was returned without a forwarding address, and plaintiff has not notified the Court of any change in her address. The Local Rules of this Court require a pro se party to promptly notify the Clerk of any change in her address or telephone number. See E.D. Mo. L.R. 2.06(B). "If any mail to a pro se plaintiff or petitioner is returned to the Court without a forwarding address and the pro se plaintiff does not notify the Court of the change of address within thirty (30) days, the Court may, without further notice, dismiss the action without prejudice." Id.
In this case, more than thirty days have passed since the mail was returned, and plaintiff has not notified the Court of a change of address. The Court will therefore dismiss this action, without prejudice, pursuant to Local Rule 2.06(B).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. A separate order of dismissal will be entered herewith.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket No. 2) is DENIED as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for the appointment of counsel (Docket No. 3) is DENIED as moot.
Dated this 24th day of September, 2018.
