ORDER

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Grimes Unit of the Arkansas Department of Correction, filed a pro

se complaint (Doc. No. 2) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, accompanied by an application to proceed

in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 1). Because Plaintiff submitted a declaration that made the showing

required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), the request to proceed in forma pauperis was granted and he was

directed to pay a $50.00 initial partial filing fee (Doc. No. 5). Plaintiff has now notified the Court

that he has been paroled and returned to his home (Doc. No. 12).

When a plaintiff proceeding in forma pauperis is released from confinement, the Court’s

policy is to require re-submission of affidavits to determine whether the plaintiff should be required

to pay all, or a portion of, the fees and costs of the lawsuit. If Plaintiff wishes to proceed with this

address, zip code, and telephone number. If any communication from the Court to

a pro se plaintiff is not responded to within thirty (30) days, the case may be

dismissed without prejudice. Any party proceeding pro se shall be expected to be

familiar with and follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

fourteen (14) days after the entry date of this Order. Plaintiff must also submit to the Court the

previously-ordered $50.00 initial partial filing fee, and the Court will set a schedule for the payment

of the remaining balance. In the alternative, Plaintiff may pay the full filing of $350.00 in order to

proceed with this action. Plaintiff is reminded of his responsibilities under Local Rule 5.5(c)(2)1

,

and that the failure to comply may result in dismissal of this action, without prejudice. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk is directed to mail Plaintiff an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis,

along with a copy of this Order.

2. Plaintiff is directed to complete and resubmit his amended Application to Proceed

In Forma Pauperis within fourteen (14) days after the entry date of this order, along with the

the application. Failure to do so may result in dismissal of this action, without prejudice. 

DATED this 2nd day of April, 2010.
