ORDER
Plaintiff Marcus Releford, a former inmate who was incarcerated at the Arkansas Department
of Correction, filed this pro se complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on November 18, 2014,
and was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). On
June 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed a change of address notice indicating that he has been released from
custody, and requesting a case update.
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 remaining
balance of his 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 remaining balance of the $350.00 statutory filing

Court records indicate Plaintiff has paid $32.33 of the $350.00 filing fee.

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 his complaint.
3.

In response to Plaintiff’s request for a case update, the Clerk is directed to send

DATED this 19th day of June, 2015.
