WO KAB 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Marcus Roosevelt Juniel, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

Joseph M. Arpaio, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. CV 13-2116-PHX-GMS (BSB) 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 

Plaintiff Marcus Roosevelt Juniel, who was formerly confined in the Maricopa 

County Fourth Avenue Jail, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983 and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2). 

On November 1, 2013, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Change of Address (Doc. 5) 

indicating that he is no longer in custody. The Court will grant the Application to 

Proceed and will require Plaintiff to either pay the filing fee or show good cause why he 

cannot pay. 

 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), “if a prisoner brings a civil action or files an 

appeal in forma pauperis, the prisoner shall be required to pay the full amount of a filing 

fee.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Because Plaintiff brought this civil action while he was 

still a prisoner, he will be required to pay the full amount of the $350.00 filing fee even 

though he is now released. See Taylor v. Delatoore, 281 F.3d 844, 847 (9th Cir. 2002) 

(“Under the [Prison Litigation Reform Act], all prisoners who file [in forma pauperis] 

civil actions must pay the full amount of the filing fee.”) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1)).

JDDL 

 If Plaintiff were still a prisoner, the Court would order Plaintiff’s custodian to 

periodically withdraw funds from Plaintiff’s inmate account according to the statutory 

formula in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2) until the filing fee was paid in full. However, because 

Plaintiff is no longer in custody, and therefore does not have a prison account, he cannot 

avail himself of the partial payment provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1), (2). The 

statute makes no other provision for incremental collection of the fee. Therefore, 

Plaintiff must now pay the filing fee in full. 

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

$350.00 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 $350.00 filing fee within 120 days 

from the date of his release or show good cause why he cannot pay the filing fee. 

Plaintiff’s Response must be made under penalty of perjury. See 28 U.S.C. § 1746 (oath 

requirement may be satisfied when a person declares under penalty of perjury that the 

submission is true and correct and signs and dates the document). 

 Plaintiff is advised that, even after he pays the filing fee, the Court is required to 

screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a governmental entity or an 

officer or an employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The Court must 

dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the plaintiff has raised claims that are legally 

frivolous or malicious, that fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or that 

seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915A(b)(1), (2). 

 If Plaintiff fails to timely comply with every provision of this Order, the Court 

may dismiss this action without further notice. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 

1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992) (a district court may dismiss an action for failure to comply with 

any order of the Court). 

 IT IS ORDERED: 

 (1) Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2) is granted. 

 (2) Within 30 days from the date this Order is filed, Plaintiff must either pay

 (3) If Plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee or file a Response to this Order within 

30 days, the Clerk of Court must enter a judgment of dismissal of this action without 

prejudice. 

 Dated this 5th day of November, 2013.
