Cullen United States District Judge Plaintiff Thomas Daniel Hoff, proceeding pro se, filed this civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By conditional filing orders entered June 28 and July 11, 2022, the court advised Hoff that he must notify the court in writing immediately upon his transfer or release and must provide the court with his new address. (See ECF Nos. 3 & 5.) The court further advised Hoff that failure to provide an updated address would result in dismissal of this action. (Id.) On March 6, 2024, an order sent to Hoff was returned to the court as undeliverable. (See ECF No. 41.) The envelope of the returned mail indicated that Hoff is no longer incarcerated in the Virginia Department of Corrections and did not contain a forwarding address. (Id.) To date, Hoff has not provided the court with an updated address as required by the court’s conditional filing orders. Accordingly, the court will dismiss this action without prejudice for failure to comply with the court’s orders. The court notes that this dismissal is without prejudice to Hoff’s opportunity to refile his claims in a separate civil action, subject to the applicable statute of limitations.
