(ECF 11.) The deadline to file First Amended Complaint has passed and the Court has not received the First Amended Complaint or any other communication from Plaintiff. Copies of orders issued on June 5, 2026 (ECF 11) and June 11, 2026 (ECF 12) were mailed to Plaintiff at his address of record after issuance. Both mailings were returned to the courthouse with stamps indicating that Plaintiff was no longer at the address. (ECF 13; ECF 14.) No change of address notice has been received.
