II.

B a c k gro u n d P lain tiff Leonard A. Sills filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action (docket entry #1),

a lo n g with a Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis (#2), in the Western District o f Arkansas. The Western District transferred Plaintiff's case to this Court (#3, #4). On December 8, 2008, this Court denied Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed in fo rm a pauperis because Plaintiff was no longer incarcerated in the Arkansas Department o f Correction ("ADC") and the pending motion did not reflect Plaintiff's post-release f in a n c ia l status. Plaintiff was ordered to file a current motion to proceed in forma p a u p e ris within thirty days of the entry of the Court's Order (#5). In addition, the Court n o ted that Plaintiff's Complaint (#1) failed to allege an injury, as required to state a claim f o r deliberate indifference to Plaintiff's serious medical needs, and ordered Plaintiff to f ile an amended complaint which included allegations of his injury. The Plaintiff was req u ired to file the amended complaint also within thirty days of the entry of the Court's O rd e r (#5). The Plaintiff was warned that failure to fully comply with the Order could re su lt in dismissal of his action under Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) of the Eastern District of A rk a n s a s and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Plaintiff has not responded to the Court's Order and the time for doing so has p a ss e d . Plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint or a current motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has further failed to inform the Court and other parties in this p ro c e e d in g of his new address as required by Local Rule 5.5(c)(2).
