UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE DIVISION

TASH JERNAZIAN, Plaintiff,

v. Case No.: 4:25cv46/TKW/ZCB

RAY BAKER, Defendant. _____________________________/ REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION On January 31, 2025, Plaintiff mailed in a pro se “petition” that the Court construed as a § 1983 complaint. (Docs. 1, 3). The return address on the envelope containing Plaintiff’s complaint was Lake Lewisville Law Firm, 12655 NE 6th Avenue, North Miami, FL 33161. (Doc. 1 at 6). But this is an inaccurate address. A search of the address shows that the address is for Truist Bank and a fake law firm named “Semi Truck Accident Lawyer.” Indeed, all mail sent to this address has been returned as undeliverable. (Docs. 4, 5). The only other address listed in the complaint is the address for Miami Beach Regional Library, 227 22nd Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139. (Id. at 1).

The Court has no address at which it can contact Plaintiff. That makes it impossible for the Court to communicate with Plaintiff as necessary to adjudicate his case. A perfect example of this is the inability

of the Court to send the order to Plaintiff directing him to file an in forma pauperis application or pay the filing fee in this case. (See Doc. 3). Thus, dismissal is warranted. See Gilbert v. Daniels,

, 792

(11th Cir. 2018) (affirming the district court’s dismissal when the plaintiff failed to update the court of his address change, which prevented him from complying with court orders); see also Washington v. Escambia

Cnty. Jail, No. 3:22cv4842,

, at *1 (N.D. Fla. June 6, 2022), adopted by

(Sept. 27, 2022) (dismissing complaint where the pro se plaintiff failed to provide an accurate mailing

address). For the reasons above, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff’s complaint be DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff’s

failure to provide the Court with an accurate mailing address. The Clerk of Court should be directed to close this case. At Pensacola, Florida this 26th day of February 2025.
