Clarence Hickman, Sr. v. County of Butte

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Clarence Hickman, Sr. v. County of Butte, 586 F. App'x 285 (9th Cir. 2014)

Clarence Hickman, Sr. v. County of Butte

Opinion

*286 MEMORANDUM **

Clarence B. Hickman, Sr. appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action without prejudice for Hickman’s failure to keep the district court informed of his current address, in violation of a local rule. We review for an abuse of discretion, Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440 (9th Cir. 1988) (per curiam), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Hickman’s action without prejudice where mail addressed to Hickman at the address he provided was returned as undeliverable. See id. at 1440-41 (reviewing dismissal following failure of plaintiff to keep court appraised of current address, as required by local rule, and finding no abuse of discretion).

AFFIRMED.
