Evans v. Hall et al

Filing 23

ORDER granting 22 Motion to have funds returned. Signed by Senior Judge Neal B. Biggers on 9/26/19. (jla)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
GREENVILLE DIVISION
CURTIS C. EVANS

PLAINTIFF

v.

No. 4:18CV128-NBB-JMV

PELICIA HALL, ET AL.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION [22]
FOR RETURN OF FILING FEE
This matter comes before the court on the motion [22] by Curtis Evans for the court to return
the funds debited from his inmate account in according with the Prison Litigation Reform Act. On
November 2, 2018, the court granted Mr. Evans’ motion to proceed as a pauper and required the
inmate account custodian at his facility to debit his account in accordance with the Prison Litigation
Reform Act. Later, however, the court revoked [19] his pauper status and dismissed this case. As
such, the order requiring Mr. Evans to pay the filing fee was effectively made moot. For this reason,
the Inmate Account Custodian is DIRECTED to terminate the debits from Mr. Evans’ account, and
the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to return the funds debited from Mr. Evans’ account that were
to pay the filing fee in this case. This order has no effect on orders in this or other courts requiring
debits from the plaintiff’s account to pay the filing fee in other cases.
SO ORDERED, this, the 26th day of September, 2019.
