March 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 5 TEXT ORDER denying #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis as incomplete. Plaintiff indicates that she is not employed, resides with three dependents, and receives "food stamps and rental assistance from recovery options made easy." Plaintiff also indicates that her total gross monthly income is $861, however, it is unclear what other sources of income she uses to contribute to the remaining expenses not covered by the government assistance she receives. 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 April 1, 2022 to (1) re-file her 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 April 1, 2022, the Clerk of Court is directed to dismiss this case without prejudice and without further order. Signed by Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford on 3/1/22. (NNR)-CLERK TO FOLLOW UP-
