Civil Action No. 7:21cv00625
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By: Robert S. Ballou
United States Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff Paul Arthur Stricklin, a former inmate proceeding pro se, filed this civil action
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After filing this action, Stricklin advised the court that he had been
released from incarceration. (See ECF No. 18.) By order entered April 21, 2022, the court
advised Stricklin that because he was no longer an inmate, he would not be allowed to pay the
filing fee in installments under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. (See ECF No. 19.) The court
ordered Stricklin to pay the balance of the filing fee or otherwise respond to the order within
ten days. (Id.) The court warned Stricklin that failure to pay the filing fee or otherwise respond
to the order would result in immediate dismissal of the action without prejudice. (Id.) Stricklin
did not respond to the court’s order. Accordingly, the court will dismiss this action without
prejudice for failure to comply.
