Civil Action No. 7:21cv00651
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By:

Hon. Thomas T. Cullen
United States District 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. 10.) By order entered April 25, 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. 11.) The
court ordered Stricklin to pay the balance of the filing fee or otherwise respond to the order
within 10 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.
The Clerk is directed to forward copies of this Memorandum Opinion and the
accompanying Order to Stricklin.
ENTERED this 10th day of May, 2022.
