In a letter dated October 11, 2009 (filed in this court on October 15, 19 2009), plaintiff indicated that he would be transferring to Corcoran State Prison the following 20 week and that he might need additional time to locate defendant Snell. He also indicated that he 21 would provide his change of address when able. However, no address change has been 22 forthcoming and some ninety days have passed since issuance of the order permitting plaintiff 23 sixty days to provide the necessary information to effect service of defendant Snell. 24 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that defendant Snell be 25 dismissed from this action without prejudice.
