ORDER 
 
 
THIS MATTER is before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion for Change of Address 
(ECF No. 35).  This order is issued without necessity of response. 
Having reviewed the motion and upon due consideration thereof, the Court will 
deny the motion. 
Plaintiff states that the “correct address” for him is as follows: 
 
Ronald Edward Gillette 
 
c/o Luz M. Colon 
 
3014 John F. Kennedy Bldg. #2, Apt. # 14 
 
Christiansted, VI 00820 
 
(340) 220-0706 
 
However, this motion was mailed from jail.  Thus, Plaintiff appears to be requesting 
that the Court either send his mail to somewhere other than where he is physically located

or to preemptively change his address to reflect an upcoming change of circumstances.  The 
motion will be denied at this time, as it appears that Plaintiff is still incarcerated and is still 
proceeding pro se.  See McCormick v. Krouse, Civil Action No. 1:17cv265-LG-RHW (S.D. Miss. 
Dec. 18, 2017) (denying similar motion when reasons as to change of address were not 
provided).   
Plaintiff provides no insight as to why the Court should send his mail to the address 
that he requests.  Even if he had done so, there would still likely be no basis for the Court to 
honor his request.  Plaintiff continues to represent himself, and, being that he is serving as 
his own attorney, the Court must continue to send him mail at his address of record so that 
he continues to have adequate notice and opportunity to be heard.  See, e.g., Swinson v. City 
of Philadelphia, No. CV 13-6870, 2015 WL, at *5 (E.D. Pa. Aug. 19, 2015); see also Henson v. 
Griem, No. 2:16-cv-1908-JAM-EFB, 2017 WL 5992413, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Dec. 4, 2017)   
The Clerk of Court shall mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff at his current address of 
record.    
WHEREFORE, it is now hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Change of 
Address (ECF No. 35) is DENIED.
