Plaintiff has not communicated with the Court regarding his new address, in violation of Local Civil Rule 10.1. See L. Civ. R. 10.1(a) (“Counsel and/or unrepresented parties must advise the Court of any change in their or their client’s address within seven days of being apprised of such change by filing a notice of said change with the Clerk.”). 6. Plaintiff submitted a change of address form in his other civil action, Miles v. Sergeant Morris, et al., No. 172800 (D.N.J. Jan. 21, 2020) (ECF No. 47), indicating he now resides in Beverly, New Jersey.

This order shall be sent to the address associated with Plaintiff, and he may reopen this matter by confirming his contact information with the Court. 7. An appropriate order follows.
