6 TYRONE MCDOUGALD, Case No. 3:19-cv-00361-MMD-WGC
7 Plaintiff, v. ORDER 8 JASON MCKENZIE, et al., 9 Defendants. 10 11 Pro se Plaintiff Tyrone McDougald brought this action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. 12 (ECF No. 12.) After several documents were returned as undeliverable, the Court ordered 13 Plaintiff to file his updated address with the Court—in compliance with LR IA 3-1—within 14 30 days. (ECF No. 21.) The Court explicitly stated in that order that, “if Plaintiff fails to 15 timely comply with this order, the Court will dismiss this case without prejudice.” (Id.) More 16 than 30 days have elapsed, but Plaintiff has not filed his updated address. “Pursuant to 17 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), the district court may dismiss an action for failure 18 to comply with any order of the court.” Ferdik v. Bonzelet,
963 F.2d 1258, 1260(9th Cir. 19 1992); see also Carey v. King,
856 F.2d 1439, 1440-41(9th Cir. 1988) (affirming dismissal 20 for failure to update address per the district court’s local rules). And as a function of that 21 power in this case, the Court will dismiss Plaintiff’s case without prejudice because Plaintiff 22 has not timely updated his address, despite the Court’s order that he must. 23 It is therefore ordered that this case is dismissed without prejudice. 24 The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly and close this case. 25 DATED THIS 16th Day of November 2020.
