DISPOSITION

Wes Alan Manuel, Jr. (“Plaintiff”) was incarcerated in the Poinsett County Detention 

Center when he filed this action on January 6, 2020 alleging violations of his constitutional rights. 

(Doc. No. 1.) On February 20, 2020, Plaintiff informed the Court he had been released from 

custody. (Doc. No. 10.) The next day, I directed Plaintiff to file a renewed Application to Proceed 

Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit because it was unclear whether Plaintiff was still 

entitled to in forma pauperis status after his release. (Doc. No. 13.) I cautioned Plaintiff that his 

failure to comply with my Order may result in the dismissal of his case without prejudice. (Id.) 

More than thirty days have now passed from the entry of my February 21, 2020 Order. 

Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Order. Plaintiff was warned that 

such failure could result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice 

pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2). 

IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff=s Complaint, as amended (Doc. No. 

4) be DISMISSED without prejudice and that the Court certify, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), 

that an in forma pauperis appeal from any Order adopting this Recommendation and the 

accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith.
