IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

DELTA DIVISION

JAY JONES PLAINTIFF

v. 2:24-cv-00191-DPM-JJV

TYRAN MCCRADIC,

Jail Administrator, Arkansas County Jail; et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Jay Jones (“Plaintiff”) was confined in the Arkansas County Detention Center (“ACDC”)

when he filed this pro se action seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. 1.) On October 

30, 2024, I granted Plaintiff permission to proceed in forma pauperis, advised him of his obligation 

under Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) to maintain a valid address with the Clerk, and cautioned him this case 

could be dismissed if he failed to properly do so. (Doc. 3.) Mail recently sent to Plaintiff at the 

ACDC has been returned undelivered because he is no longer there. (Doc. 6.) This case cannot 

continue if the Court and Defendants have no way to contact Plaintiff. (Id.) And, if Plaintiff has 

been released from custody, he may no longer be entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. 

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED THAT:

1. The Clerk shall mail Plaintiff an In Forma Pauperis Application for individuals 

who are not in custody.

2. If Plaintiff wishes to continue with this lawsuit, he must provide the Clerk with his 

current mailing address and, if he is no longer in custody, file a properly completed In Forma 

Pauperis Application. If Plaintiff does not do so within thirty (30) days of the date of this 

Order, I will recommend this case be dismissed without prejudice.
