DEBORAH BARNES, Magistrate Judge.
Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, has filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
On July 6, 2018, the court directed respondent to file a response to the petition. (ECF No. 8). On August 30, 2018, respondent filed a motion for an extension of time, which the court granted the next day. (ECF Nos. 11, 12). On September 11, 2018, petitioner's service copy of the court's order granting the extension of time was returned to the court as undeliverable. On November 5, 2018, respondent filed a response and a motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 13).
The court takes note of the fact that to date, petitioner has not filed a change of address with the court as required under Local Rule 183(b). Nevertheless, the court will order plaintiff to file a traverse to respondent's response within thirty days of the date of this order. Petitioner will also be directed to file a change of address in this court during this period. Should petitioner fail to file a traverse within thirty days or should the instant order be returned as undeliverable, the court will recommend that this matter be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Within thirty days of the date of this order, petitioner shall file a traverse to respondent's response and motion to dismiss (ECF No. 13);
2. Within thirty days of the date of this order, petitioner shall file a separate change of address pleading in this matter which provides the court with his current address, and
3. The Clerk of Court shall change the case caption to reflect that Paul Thompson, the current warden of FCI Herlong, is the respondent in this matter.
