ORDER
Plaintiff Melvin Wade Grimes, Jr., who was formerly held at the Craighead County Jail, filed
a pro se complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on April 17, 2015, and was granted leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). On September 8, 2015, plaintiff
filed a change of address notice indicating that he has now been released from custody (docket entry
22).
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 remainder of
his $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.1 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 remainder of the $350.00 statutory filing fee, or to

1

Court records indicate Plaintiff has paid $32.50 of the $350.00 filing fee.
1

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 do so will result in the recommended dismissal of his complaint.
DATED this 15th day of September, 2015.
