MEMORANDUM OPINION
ELIZABETH K. DILLON, District Judge.
Plaintiff Joseph Andrew Hobbs, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By orders entered February 14 and 21, 2019, the court conditionally filed this action and, inter alia, advised Hobbs that he must notify the court in writing immediately upon his transfer or release and provide the court with a new address. See Dkt. Nos. 3 and 5. The court warned Hobbs that failure to notify the court of a change of address would result in dismissal of the case. Id. On May 28, 2019, a notice was returned to the court as undeliverable and with no forwarding address. See Dkt. No. 16. Hobbs has not provided the court with an updated address; therefore, the court has no means of contacting him. Accordingly, the court will dismiss Hobbs' complaint without prejudice. Hobbs is advised that he may refile his claims in a separate action.
An appropriate order will be entered.
