By Memorandum Order entered on November 2,2015, the Court ordered service on Respondent. On November 18, 2015, the United States Postal Service returned the November 2, 2015 Memorandum Order to the Court marked, "RETURN TO SENDER" and "UNABLE TO FORWARD." Petitioner has not contacted the Court to provide a current address. Petitioner's failure to contact the Court and provide a current address indicates his lack of interest in prosecuting this action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, the action will be dismissed without prejudice. An appropriate Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion. ^ Isl HENRY E.
