January 13, 2021 Filing 4 TEXT ORDER denying #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis as incomplete. Plaintiff indicates that he is not employed, and receives government assistance in the amount of $411. He also receives $300 from an individual, who resides with him and contributes to his household expenses. Plaintiff states that his household expenses are $922, and it is unclear how he contributes to them considering his income. Based on the lack of sufficient information, the Court cannot determine whether plaintiff has set forth sufficient indications of indigency, thus, plaintiff's in forma pauperis motion is DENIED. Plaintiff has until February 15, 2021 to (1) re-file his application using the Court's standard form with all of the relevant information included, or (2) pay the $402.00 filing fee. If plaintiff has not complied with either of these options by February 15, 2021, the Clerk of Court is directed to dismiss this case without prejudice and without further order. Signed by Hon.
