BECKY HITT et al

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Plaintiff Houston Clay Hamilton, a former inmate, filed a pro se complaint (docket entry 2),
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on February 25, 2015, and was granted leave to proceed in forma
pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (docket entry 3). On December 21, 2015, plaintiff
filed a change of address notice indicating that he has now been released from custody (docket entry
23).
When a plaintiff is released from confinement, the Court’s policy is to require re-submission
of affidavits to determine whether he should be required to pay all, or a portion of, the fees and costs
of the lawsuit. If plaintiff wishes to proceed with this lawsuit, he is directed pay the $350.00 filing
fee, or to resubmit an IFP application which reflects his free-world financial status, no later than 30
days after the entry date of this order. Plaintiff’s failure to do so will result in the recommended
dismissal of this lawsuit.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1.

The Clerk is directed to forward an IFP application to plaintiff.

2.

Plaintiff is directed to submit the $350.00 filing fee, or to complete and sign the IFP

application, and file it, no later than 30 days after the entry date of this order. Plaintiff’s failure to

1

do so will result in the recommended dismissal of his complaint.
DATED this 13th day of January, 2016.
