IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
FELIX RODRIGUEZ
ADC #143927
v.

PLAINTIFF

CASE NO. 3:15CV00079 BSM

LUTHER WHITFIELD, Lieutenant,
Mississippi County Detention Center, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Plaintiff Felix Rodriguez filed this lawsuit while incarcerated and was granted leave
to proceed in forma pauperis. See Doc. No. 3. Rodriguez has since appealed a final
judgment, and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals remanded for the sole purpose of
determining in forma pauperis eligibility on appeal. See Doc. No. 81. The Arkansas
Department of Correction no longer lists Rodriguez as an inmate. Therefore, it is unclear
whether Rodriguez is still entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. See Fed. R. App. P.
24(a)(3)(A).

Accordingly, the clerk is directed to mail Rodriguez a new application to

proceed in forma pauperis, and Rodriguez has thirty days from the entry of this order to file
that application with updated information.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 28th day of November 2016.
