Order and Recommendation (“Recommendation”) was filed and notice
was served on the Plaintiff pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636. (Docs.
2, 3.) No objections were filed within the time limits
prescribed by Section 636.
The record reflects that the Recommendation was served by

Box 18247, Lexington, North Carolina, but returned as
undeliverable and marked “Return to Sender, Not Deliverable as
Addressed, Unable to Forward,” (See Doc. 4.) This court has no
obligation to locate Plaintiff to provide actual notice;
instead, it is the duty of a litigant to keep this court
informed of a current address. LR 11.1(b). Because Plaintiff has
not provided the court with an address within 63 days of the
