ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff Forrest Dunbar, who was formerly confined in the Arizona State Prison

Complex in San Luis, Arizona, has filed a pro se First Amended Complaint pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. # 11). Plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

assessed the statutory filing fee of $350.00. (Doc. # 9). Plaintiff has now informed the Court

that he has been released from custody (Doc. # 22). Plaintiff was cautioned that in the event

of his release, he would be required to pay the balance of the filing fee within 120 days or

show cause within 30 days why he cannot pay. Currently, Plaintiff owes $166.92 towards

the fee.

Accordingly, Plaintiff will be given 30 days from the date this Order is filed to either

pay the $166.92 balance of the filing fee or file a “Response” to this Order. Plaintiff’s

Response must state the date of his release and must either promise to pay the unpaid balance

of the filing fee within 120 days from the date of his release or show good cause why he

cannot pay the outstanding balance of the filing fee. Plaintiff’s Response must be made
