Ronald Edward Gillette, Pro Se CoreCivic Agency #19-884 2604 W. Woodland Ridge Drive Lecanto, FL 34461

ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion for Change of Address (ECF No. 69). This order is issued without necessity of response. Having reviewed the motion and upon due consideration thereof, the Court will deny the motion. Plaintiff states that the “correct address” for him is as follows: Ronald Edward Gillette c/o Luz M. Colon 3014 John F. Kennedy Bldg. #2, Apt. # 14 Christiansted, VI 00820 (340) 220-0706

However, this motion was mailed from jail. Thus, Plaintiff appears to be requesting that the Court either send his mail to somewhere other than where he is physically located Gillette v. Herbert

or to preemptively change his address to reflect an upcoming change of circumstances. The motion will pbreo d seeniSeede a Mt tchCiosr tmimicek, va.s K irt oaupspeears that Plaintiff is still incarcerated and is still proceeding . , Civil Action No. 1:17cv265-LG-RHW (S.D. Miss. Dec. 18, 2017) (denying similar motion when reasons as to change of address were not provided). Plaintiff provides no insight as to why the Court should send his mail to the address that he requests. Even if he had done so, there would still likely be no basis for the Court to honor his request. Plaintiff continues to represent himself, and, being that he is serving as his own attorney, the Court must continue to send him mail at his adSderee, ess.g o., fS rweicnosrodn s vo.
