DEFENDANTS

ORDER
On September 21, 2016, Plaintiff filed an unsigned Application to Proceed In
Forma Pauperis that explained the funds he had in his jail account. Doc. 5. Five days
later, Plaintiff was released from custody. Doc. 7.
Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is denied because he did
not sign it, and the provided information about his jail funds is now obsolete.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 (providing that a pro se litigant must sign all pleadings).
Additionally, in light of his recent release, it is unclear whether Plaintiff is still
interested in pursuing this § 1983 action.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1.

Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 5) is

DENIED.
