Opinion
Civ. No. 1:10-CV-215 (TJM/RFT).
July 8, 2011
DECISION ORDER
By Decision and Order dated March 15, 2011, Plaintiff was
ORDERED to submit a status report to Magistrate Judge Treece within thirty (30) days of the date of [the March 15, 2011] Decision and Order. The status report will inform the Court as to the steps PLAINTIFF has taken to identify the "John Doe" defendants. Failure to comply with this Order may result in the dismissal of the action for failure to prosecute.
March 15, 2011 Dec. Ord., dkt. # 18 (emphasis in original).
Plaintiff failed to obey this order. Furthermore, on June 6, 2011 the Court placed this matter on the Court's dismissal calendar and mailed notice to Plaintiff at the address he last provided to the Court. Dkt. # 19. That notice was returned as "undeliverable" with an indication from the United States Postal Service of a forwarding address in Sacramento, California. Dkt. # 20. The Court Clerk's Office sent the dismissal motion notice to the Sacramento address, and this was returned as "undeliverable" with no forwarding information. Dkt. # 21.
There is no indication that Plaintiff did not receive the March 15, 2011 Decision and Order. Based on Plaintiff's failure to comply the March 15, 2011 Decision and Order, and based on his failure to apprize the Court of a proper mailing address for the delivery of court documents and orders (as required of all litigants), it is hereby
ORDERED that the Court's motion [dkt. # 19] is GRANTED and the instant action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
