(PC) Spearman v. Public Defenders Office

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 REGINALD EDWARD SPEARMAN, No. 2:21-cv-1290 AC P Plaintiff, v. ORDER PUBLIC DEFENDER’S OFFICE, et al., Defendants. 16 Plaintiff, a former county jail inmate proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested authority pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF Nos. 1, 6. This proceeding was referred to the undersigned by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). On April 28, 2023, plaintiff filed a notice of change of address in another action he has before this court. The address appears to be a residential one. As a result, plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status must be considered in light of the fact that he is no longer incarcerated. An individual released from incarceration must be allowed to apply to proceed under general in forma pauperis provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). See DeBlasio v. Gilmore, 315 F.3d 396, 399 (4th Cir. 2003); see also Webb v.…
