OF COUNSEL:
ORDER
In June 2025, plaintiff pro se Christopher M. Parsels ("plaintiff") commenced this civil
rights action. Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff, who was confined at Warren County Jail at the time he
filed this action, did not pay the filing fee for this action and sought leave to proceed in forma
pauperis ("IFP"). Dkt. No. 2. By Decision and Order filed on July 25, 2025 (the "July 2025
Order"), the Court granted plaintiff's IFP application and reviewed the sufficiency of the
complaint in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). Dkt. No.
8. The Court found that the complaint failed to state a claim and dismissed all claims, without
prejudice. See id. In light of plaintiff's pro se status, he was afforded an opportunity to file an
amended complaint. See id. Plaintiff was cautioned that if he failed to timely file an amended

complaint as directed, the Clerk of the Court would be directed to enter judgment dismissing
the action without prejudice, without further order of the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2)(B) and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) for failure to state a claim upon which relief may
be granted and for failure to comply with the July 2025 Order. Id. at 10 (emphasis in original).
On August 14, 2025, plaintiff filed a Notice of Change of Address indicating his new
address as Fishkill Correctional Facility. Dkt. No. 11.
On September 8, 2025, plaintiff filed a submission with the Court. Dkt. No. 14. In a
Decision and Order filed on October 8, 2025 (the "October 2025 Order"), the Court advised
plaintiff that the submission would not be accepted as an amended complaint. Dkt. No. 15.
The Court noted that the submission did not include a caption, a list of parties, any cause of
action, or any request for relief. Id. In light of plaintiff's pro se status, he was afforded sixty
days to submit a pleading that complied with the Court's Local Rules of Practice. Id. The
October 2025 Order was mailed to plaintiff at his address of record, Fishkill Correctional
Facility. See id.
After receiving no response or any communication from plaintiff, the Court conducted a
search of the Inmate Information Database maintained by the New York State Department of
Corrections and Community Supervision ("DOCCS"), using plaintiff's Department ID Number
(25-B-1277). The search revealed that the plaintiff is still housed at Fishkill Correctional
Facility. See https://nysdoccslookup.doccs.ny.gov/ (last visited Feb. 2, 2026).
As of the date of this Decision and Order, plaintiff has not complied with the Court's
Orders, nor has he communicated with the Court in any manner regarding this action.1
1 As further evidence that plaintiff has abandoned this action, the Court notes that the related case, Parsels v.
Glens Falls Hosp., et al., No. 9:25-CV-0745 (N.D.N.Y. filed Jun. 13, 2025), was dismissed on December 1,
2025, due to plaintiff's failure to comply with Court orders. Id., Dkt. No. 9.
