Pursuant to section 1915(a) of Title 28 of the United States Code, federal courts have the statutory authority to permit the commencement of a civil action without prepayment of fees or costs by a person who submits an affidavit that he or she is unable to pay such costs or give security therefor. The purpose of this section is to ensure that indigent litigants have access to the federal courts In re Williamson, 786 F.2d 1336, 1338 (8th Cir. 1986) (quoting Souder v. McGuire, 516 F.2d 820, 823 (3rd Cir. 1975)). Although a claimant need not be completely destitute to take advantage of the IFP statute, he or she must show that paying the filing fee would result in an undue financial hardship. Williamson, 786 F.2d at 1338. Plaintiff has reported a total monthly income of $4,723 and monthly expenses totaling $2,226.00. This leaves a monthly surplus of $2,497.00.

For this reason, Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is DENIED, and the Plaintiff is directed to pay the filing fee on or before December 9, 2021. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of the case for failure to follow an order of this Court. Signed by Honorable Mark E. Ford on November 19, 2021. (cla)
