ORDER
On October 20, 2025, the United States Magistrate Judge’s
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
mail to Plaintiff’s last known address at Pike County Detention
Center, 172 Division St., Pikeville, Kentucky, but returned as
undeliverable and marked “Return to Sender, No Longer in
Facility” (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 date of the last return of mail,

WITHOUT PREJUDICE pursuant to Local Rule 11.1(b) for failure to
prosecute.
A Judgment dismissing this action will be entered
contemporaneously with this Order.
This the 20th day of January, 2026.
