UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK --------------------------------------------------------------- X : SERVINCY K. EDMOND, : Plaintiff, : MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER – against – : 21-CV-6171 (AMD) (ARL) : JAMES DZURENDA, : Defendant. : --------------------------------------------------------------- X

ANN M. DONNELLY, United States District Judge:

On November 1, 2021, the plaintiff, who was then incarcerated at the Nassau County

Correctional Facility, brought this action under 42 U.S .C. § 1983. On May 26, 2022, the Court

granted the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint, but granted the plaintiff 30 days to file

an amended complaint. (ECF No. 16.) That order was mailed to the plaintiff, but it was returned

by the United States Postal Service because the plainti ff had been “released.” (ECF No. 17.) The plaintiff never notified the Court of his new addre ss. See McAuley v. City of New York, No. 21-CV-07413,

, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2022) (noting that a pro se prisoner’s failure to provide the Court with a new mailing address after his release from custody may be grounds for dismissal); Carr v. Hallett, No. 21-CV-2808,

, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 29, 2021) (noting that the Court may dismiss an action “where a pro se plaintiff stops participating in litigation and circumstances where case-related mailings to the plaintiff are returned as undeliverable.”); Scruggs v. Fludd, No. 19-CV-5163,

, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 11, 2019) (explaining that a pro se plaintiff has a duty to inform the Court of any change of address). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment and close this case. The Clerk of Court is also respectfully requested to mail a copy of this Order to the plaintiff and to note the mailing on the docket. The Court certifies pursuant to

(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the

purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,

(1962).
