November 9, 2023 Opinion or Order ORDER: Plaintiff's #2 application to proceed in forma pauperis is denied without prejudice because it does not provide sufficient information to permit the Court to determine whether plaintiff is indigent. Plaintiffs application indicates that she receives public assistance but does not specify the amount of public assistance she receives. Accordingly, if plaintiff wishes to proceed in forma pauperis, plaintiff is directed to file, on or before 11/30/2023, a revised IFP application that specifies the amount of any public assistance or government benefits she receives. If plaintiff fails to do, the case may be dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this docket order and of the IFP Application to plaintiff.
