Gallegos v. Bowen

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO GUSTAVO A. GALLEGOS, Petitioner, v. No. 18-cv-0887 JB/SMV MARK BOWEN, Respondent.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. The record reflects that a mailing to Petitioner Gustavo A. Gallegos was returned as undeliverable. See [Doc. 5]. It appears that Petitioner has been transferred or released from custody without advising the Court of his new address, as required by D.N.M.LR-Civ. 83.6, thus severing contact with the Court. Because Petitioner has failed to comply with the Court’s local rules, he will be required to show cause why this action should not be dismissed. See Bradenburg v. Beaman, 632 F.2d 120, 122 (10th Cir. 1980) (“It is incumbent on litigants, even those proceeding pro se, to follow the federal rules of procedure. The same is true of simple, nonburdensome local rules . . .” (citation omitted)). Failure to comply with this Order may result in dismissal of this action without further notice.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, no later than January 15, 2020, Petitioner Gustavo A. Gallegos must notify the Clerk in writing of his current address or otherwise show cause why this action should not be dismissed. □□ STEPHAN M. VIDMAR United States Magistrate Judge
