After filing this action, Harston advised the court that he had been released from incarceration. See ECF No. 10.

See ECF No. 11. The court ordered Harston to pay the balance of the filing fee or otherwise respond to the order within ten days. Id. The court warned Harston that failure to pay the filing fee or otherwise respond to the order would result in immediate dismissal of the action without prejudice. Id.
