May 13, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER. Plaintiff's #3 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is TERIMINATED, as moot, in light of the Court having granted plaintiff's #8 Second Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. See Doc. #9. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 5/13/2021. (Katz, S.)
May 13, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER granting #8 Second Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has filed a motion seeking to proceed without payment of fees and costs, which motion includes a sworn statement as to plaintiff's current financial circumstances. See Doc. #8 . Plaintiff asserts that she is unable to afford to pay fees and costs, having no income and minimal assets. See generally id. at 3-4. Plaintiff also states that she lives with, and is supported by, her children, and that she receives "food stamps." Id. at 5. At this stage, such allegations are sufficient to establish that plaintiff is unable to pay the ordinary filing fees required by the Court. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). Accordingly, plaintiff's #8 Second Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 5/13/2021. (Katz, S.)

May 4, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER. Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis, seeking to proceed without payment of fees and costs, which motion includes a sworn statement as to plaintiff's current financial circumstances. See Doc. #3 . That sworn statement, however, is largely unanswered, leaving the Court unable to assess plaintiff's financial circumstances. "The court may deny an application to proceed in forma pauperis if [the applicant] fails to submit the required financial information[.]" Whatley v. Astrue, No. 5:11CV1009(NAM)(ATB), 2011 WL 5222908, at *1 (N.D.N.Y. Oct. 14, 2011), report and recommendation adopted, 2011 WL 5196716 (Oct. 31, 2011); Schwarz v. I.R.S., 998 F. Supp. 201, 202 (N.D.N.Y. 1998) (denying application to proceed in forma pauperis as incomplete where plaintiff failed to complete application).Accordingly, plaintiff shall re-file her motion or pay the required filing fee on or before May 14, 2021, or the undersigned may recommend that this case be dismissed. If plaintiff chooses to re-file her motion she must complete all of the required information, including any monthly obligations, any other sources of financial support (including how any monthly obligations are paid for), or any other information that is pertinent to her financial status, including, for example, any proceeds from lawsuits. Plaintiff may indicate that her obligations are "$0" or that a particular question does not apply to her situation, but she may not leave significant sections of the affidavit form entirely unanswered.It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 5/4/2021. (Katz, S.)
