-GWG Chavis v. New York State Division of Parole et al, No. 1:2011cv02176 - Document 11 (S.D.N.Y. 2011)

Court Description: OPINION AND ORDER: The docket sheet reflects that the materials sent to plaintiff by the Pro Se Office to effectuate service were returned as undeliverable on May 19, 2011. In addition, the New York State Department of Corrections website reflects th at plaintiff was released on parole on May 10,2011. The United States Marshals report that there has been no request for service on the part of the plaintiff. Plaintiff has never supplied an address to the Court other than an address in prison. Thu s, the Court has no way to reach p1aintiff to remind him of his obligations to prosecute this case. In light of these facts, this case is dismissed without prejudice. See also Dumpson v. Goord, 2004 WL 1638183, at *3 (W.D.N.Y. July 22, 2004) (plainti ff's failure to provide contact information warrants dismissal of action); Dong v. United States, 2004 WL 385117, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 2, 2004) ("the very fact that [plaintiff] has been inaccessible for the last two months - without notifying the Court, the Government, or the Pro Se Office of a change of address - strongly suggests that he is not diligently pursuing this claim"). The Clerk is requested to enter judgment. (Signed by Judge Barbara S. Jones on 9/21/2011) (djc)
