12 Plaintiff,
13 v. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
14 GAVIN NEWSOM, et al.,
15 Defendants.
16
17 A recent court order was served on plaintiff’s address of record and returned by the postal
18 service. It appears that plaintiff has failed to comply with Local Rule 183(b), which requires that
19 a party appearing in propria persona inform the court of any address change.1
20 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without
21 prejudice for failure to prosecute. See Local Rule 183(b).

24 1 On June 5, 2020, an order mailed to plaintiff was returned as undeliverable, marked “deceased.”
Moreover, the inmate locator website for the California Department of Corrections and
25
Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) no longer lists plaintiff as housed in CDCR custody. In light of
plaintiff’s apparent death, it is impossible for him to prosecute this action. The undersigned has
26
considered whether to appoint counsel to represent plaintiff’s estate, but finds there are no
27 exceptional circumstances for doing so in this case. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1); Terrell v.
Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir. 1991); Wood v. Housewright, 900 F.2d 1332, 1335-36
28 (9th Cir. 1990); Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2009).
