IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA

SOUTHERN DIVISION

DAMIAN J. THOMAS, :

Plaintiff, :

vs. : CIVIL ACTION 16-00105-CB-N

KENNETH TYUS, et al, :

Defendant(s). :

ORDER

Plaintiff’s §1983 complaint and motion to proceed without prepayment of fees (Docs. 1, 

2) are on out-dated forms. See Local Rule 9(c) (requiring a pro se litigant to file his pleadings 

on this Court’s forms). Plaintiff, therefore, is ORDERED by April 11, 2016, to complete and 

file this Court's form for a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and to pay the $400.00 filing fee1

or, in lieu thereof, to file this Court's motion to proceed without prepayment of fees. The new 

complaint will supersede the prior complaint. Thus, Plaintiff shall not rely upon his prior 

complaint. Failure to comply with this order within the prescribed time or to notify the Court 

immediately of a change in address will result in a recommendation of dismissal of this action 

for failure to prosecute and to obey the Court’s order. The Clerk is DIRECTED to send Plaintiff 

a form for a complaint under § 1983 and for a motion to proceed without prepayment of fees.

 1

When an in forma pauperis request is granted, the applicable filing fee, if any, is $350.00 

for non-habeas actions. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914, Judicial Conference Schedule of Fees (effective 

May 1, 2013).
