IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 14-cv-01015-BNB SHAUN BROWN, also known as SHAUN ERIC BROWN, Plaintiff, v. MAYOR STEVE BACH, CHIEF PETER CARIEY, S. WORLEY 1123, J. RAGLAND, 1709, and UNKNOWN AGENTS, et al., Defendants. ORDER FOR AMENDED IN FORMA PAUPERIS MOTION Plaintiff, Shaun Eric Brown, was incarcerated at the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, when he initiated this action by filing pro se a Prisoner Complaint (ECF No. 1) for money damages pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, as well as 28 U.S.C. § 1331 and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). He has filed an amended Prisoner Complaint (ECF No. 10). Mr. Brown has been granted leave to proceed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. On July 23, 2014, Mr. Brown filed a notice of change of address (ECF No. 17) informing the Court that he currently resides at 709 South Sierra Madre, Colorado Springs, Colorado. He apparently no longer is incarcerated. His continuing obligation to pay the filing fee is to be determined, like any nonprisoner, solely on the basis of whether he qualifies for in forma pauperis status. See Whitney v. New Mexico, 113 F.3d 1170, 1171 n.1 (10th Cir. 1997); see also McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 612-13 (6th Cir. 1997); In re Prison Litigation Reform Act, 105 F.3d 1131, 1138-39 (6th Cir. 1997); McGann v. Commissioner, Soc. Sec. Admin., 96 F.3d 28, 29-30 (2d Cir. 1996). Therefore, Plaintiff will be ordered to submit on the Court-approved form an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs, the in forma pauperis form to be used by nonprisoners. Alternatively, Plaintiff may elect to pay the $400.00 filing fee to pursue his claims in this action. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff shall obtain the Court-approved form for filing an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs, along with the applicable instructions, at www.cod.uscourts.gov. It is FURTHER ORDERED that, if Plaintiff fails to file on the Court-approved form an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs within thirty days from the date of this order, the action will be dismissed without further notice. It is FURTHER ORDERED that the motion titled “Motin [sic]: Request for Admission” (ECF No. 14) filed on June 30, 2014, is denied as premature. DATED July 24, 2014, at Denver, Colorado. BY THE COURT: s/Boyd N. Boland United States Magistrate Judge 2
