MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on its own motion. On October 21,
2025, the Clerk of the Court sent an order to Plaintiff at her e-mail address
on file with the Court and it was returned to this Court as undeliverable. See
Filing No. 8. The Clerk of the Court also attempted to contact Plaintiff via
telephone, but all phone numbers previously provided by Plaintiff were
invalid. Additionally, the Clerk of the Court sent an e-mail to an alternative
e-mail address provided by Plaintiff in her Complaint, see Filing No. 1 at 1,
and received an unsigned response that Plaintiff is deceased. Plaintiff has an
obligation to keep the Court informed of her current e-mail and mailing
addresses at all times. See NEGenR 1.3(e) and (g) (requiring pro se parties to
adhere to local rules and inform the Court of address changes within 30
days). This case cannot be prosecuted in this Court if Plaintiff’s whereabouts
remain unknown.
