April 4, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 9 TEXT ORDER: The Court's #5 Decision and Order filed March 7, 2019, was sent to plaintiff at Downstate Correctional Facility, his last known address, and the address currently listed on the Docket Report for this action. The mail was returned as undeliverable, with the following notation on the envelope: "released 3/12/2019." See Dkt. No. 6. A search of the Inmate Information Database maintained by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, using plaintiff's Department ID Number (19-A-0668), confirms that the plaintiff was discharged from DOCCS' custody on 3/12/19. See N.Y.S. DOCS Inmate Population Information Search website at http://nysdoccslookup.doccs.ny.gov (last visited April 4, 2019). Under this court's rules, an unrepresented litigant is under a duty to inform the court of any address changes IN WRITING. See N.D.N.Y.L.R. 10.1(c)(2). For the orderly disposition of cases, it is essential that litigants honor their continuing obligation to keep the court informed of address changes. Consequently, plaintiff is advised that he must file a change of address within THIRTY DAYS, and he must continue to submit any address changes to the court as long as his action is pending. "Failure to notify the Court of a change of address in accordance with L.R. 10.1(c)(2) may result in the dismissal of any pending action." N.D.N.Y. L.R. 41.2(b). The Clerk shall serve a copy of this Order and a Change of Address form on plaintiff at his last known address by regular mail. Authorized by Senior Judge Thomas J. McAvoy on 4/4/19. {text order and change of address form served via regular mail on plaintiff}(nas, )
