DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Plaintiff Michael Butler, a former inmate at the Arkansas Department of Correction, filed
this pro se complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on January 18, 2011, and was granted leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). On July 16, 2012, Plaintiff filed
a change of address notice which indicates that he has now been released from custody (docket entry
#89).
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 $345.83
outstanding balance 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. 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 $345.83 outstanding balance of his $350.00

statutory 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 do so will result in the recommended dismissal of
1

his complaint.
DATED this

17

day of July, 2012.
