ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff John Randolph Brown, formerly in the custody of the Arizona Department

of Corrections, filed a pro se Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff was granted

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and assessed the statutory filing fee of $250.00 (Doc. #4).

Plaintiff is no longer in custody (Doc. #34). 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 $118.93 towards the fee.

Plaintiff will be given 30 days from the filing date of this Order to either pay the

$118.93 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 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).
