THIRTY (30) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a former state prisoner who initiated this civil rights action pro se and in 

forma pauperis on November 17, 2011. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff has since been released 

from prison and obtained counsel. (ECF Nos. 36 & 51.) This action proceeds against 

Defendants on Plaintiff’s First Amendment Free Exercise claim. (ECF Nos. 37, 38, 59, 

62.)

On July 1, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued findings and recommendations to 

deny Defendants’ motion to revoke Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status and to require 

Plaintiff to submit an updated financial affidavit. (ECF No. 75.) Neither party filed 

objections to the findings and recommendations. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), the Court has 

conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the
