Plaintiff Eric L. White, currently an inmate of the Wrightsville Unit of the Arkansas
Department of Correction, filed his Complaint pro se under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on July 11, 2016.
ECF No. 1. Plaintiff failed to submit an in forma pauperis (“IFP”) application with his Complaint.
The Court ordered Plaintiff to submit an IFP application by August 5, 2016. ECF No. 2.
Plaintiff submitted the IFP application and filed his Motion for Leave to Proceed IFP (ECF
No. 4) on August 3, 2016. However, Plaintiff failed to date his IFP application and failed to have
the certification regarding inmate funds held in his name completed by the ADC – Wrightsville
Unit. On August 4, the Court entered an Order denying Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed IFP in error.
ECF No. 5.
Plaintiff is given until August 26, 2016, to have the IFP application completed with the
certification regarding inmate funds held in his name completed by the ADC – Wrightsville Unit.
Plaintiff must return the application to this Court for review and filing or pay the $350 filing fee
1 

and $50 administrative fee for a total of $400. If Plaintiff fails to return the completed IFP
application or pay the $400 fee by August 26, 2016, the Complaint will become subject to
summary dismissal for failure to obey an order of the Court.
Plaintiff is advised he is required to immediately inform the Court of any change of address.
Plaintiff shall submit a change of address on a separate piece of paper entitled “Notice to the Court
of Change of Address” and not include any motions or otherwise request relief in this document.
Failure to inform the Court of an address change may result in the dismissal of this case.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed IFP (ECF No. 4) is reinstated as pending. The
Clerk is directed to reinstate the Motion (ECF No. 4) as pending.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of August 2016.
