IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

CARLOS RAY FRAZIER

#650936 PLAINTIFF

v. 4:24-cv-00753-JM-JJV

BAKER, Lieutenant,

Dub Brassell Detention Center, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Carlos Ray Frazier (“Plaintiff”) filed this pro se action seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 

1983 while he was in the Brassell Detention Center (“BDC”). (Doc. 2). In October 2024, I 

granted him 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. 7.) On December 10, 2024, mail sent by the 

Court to Plaintiff at the BDC, which is his last known address, was returned undelivered because 

Plaintiff is no longer in that facility. (Doc. 13.) 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.
