On May 3, 2010, plaintiff filed 28 Dockets.Justia.com 1 an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff’s application indicated that he had been 2 transferred to Pleasant Valley State Prison. On May 5, 2010, the docket was updated to reflect 3 plaintiff’s current address at Pleasant Valley State Prison. 4 Because it appears that Plaintiff may have failed to comply with the earlier order because 5 it was sent to an address that was no longer current, the court will vacate the recommendations of 6 dismissal. 7 Plaintiff is advised that Local Rule 183(b) requires a party appearing pro se to keep the 8 Court and opposing parties advised as to his current address. Failure to do so may result in the 9 dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. 10 11 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the earlier recommendations of dismissal are vacated. 12 13 14 15 IT IS SO ORDERED.
