IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
ROANOKE DIVISION
RICKY LYNN HAMILTON,
Plaintiff,

Civil Action No. 7:15-cv-00022

v.

ORDER

DR. JOSEPH ANTONY, et al,
Defendant(s).

By: Hon. Robert S. Ballou
United States Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff instituted this civil action and was granted the opportunity to proceed in forma
pauperis to the extent that plaintiff could pay the $350.00 filing fee via installments from an
inmate trust account, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b). It has come to the attention of the court
that plaintiff has been released from incarceration. Inasmuch as plaintiff is no longer an inmate,
plaintiff is no longer subject to the provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, which
allowed plaintiff to pay the $350.00 filing fee via installments. Finding good cause, it is hereby
ORDERED
that plaintiff is assessed the $350.00 filing fee and the applicable $50.00 administrative fee and is
directed to pay this $400.00 total in full or otherwise respond to this Order within ten (10) days
of this Order’s entry, and plaintiff shall maintain an address of record where plaintiff will receive
the court’s orders. Failure to pay the fee in full or otherwise respond to this Order within the
time allowed and to maintain an address of record shall result in the immediate dismissal of this
action without prejudice. All pleadings should be mailed to: Clerk, U.S. District Court, 210
Franklin Road, S.W., Suite 540, Roanoke, VA 24011-2208.
The Clerk is directed to send a certified copy of this Order to all parties.
Enter: September 22, 2015
