SMITH, : et al., : : Defendants : : On February 16, 2021, the Court received a prisoner civil rights complaint and application to proceed without prepayment of filing fees from Plaintiff, Daniel R. Dibiase, a pretrial detainee at Cumberland County Jail. (Compl., Dkt. No. 1.) Prior to the Court’s review of the complaint, legal mail sent to Plaintiff on March 8, 2021, was returned to the Court as undeliverable. (Dkt. No. 2.) Plaintiff has not notified the Court of his new address. I. DISCUSSION Local Civil Rule 10.1(a) provides, in relevant part: unrepresented parties must advise the Court of any change in their . . . address[es] within seven days of being apprised of such change by filing a notice of said change with the Clerk. Failure to file a notice of change may result in the imposition of sanctions by the Court. Dismissing a complaint without prejudice is an appropriate remedy for noncompliance with this rule. See Archie v. Dept. of Dockets.Justia.com Corr., Civ. No. 12-2466 (RBK/JS), 2015 WL 333299, at *1 (D.N.J. Jan. 23, 2015) (collecting cases).

An appropriate order follows. Dated: June 14, 2021 s/Renée Marie Bumb RENÉE MARIE BUMB UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
