12 13 Plaintiff Lamont William Jones filed the instant pro se civil rights lawsuit on February 5, 14 2025. ECF No. 1. The matter was recently reassigned from a magistrate judge to the undersigned 15 in light of a Ninth Circuit decision.1 16 Prior to reassignment, on July 10, 2025, the Court (Ryu, J.) ordered Jones to provide a 17 current address. ECF No. 7. On July 29, 2025, the Court’s order directing Jones to provide a 18 current address was returned and marked as undeliverable. ECF No. 8. More than two months 19 have passed, and Jones has not updated his address or otherwise communicated with the Court. 20 Given that Jones failed to comply with Civil Local Rule 3-11, the matter is DISMISSED 21 WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir. 1988) (affirming 22 dismissal of pro se prisoner’s complaint for failing to notify court of his change of address). Any 23 motion to reopen this matter must be accompanied by a change of address form. The Clerk shall 24 terminate all pending motions and close the file. 25 26
