It is the petitioner’s responsibility to keep the court apprised of 23 his current address at all times. Pursuant to Local Rule 83-182(f), service of documents at the 24 record address of the party is fully effective. 25 ///// 26 ///// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Petitioner did return the form seeking his consent to this court’s jurisdiction, he 2 signed both the consent and the decline portions.
