Plaintiff indicates that he is not employed, resides alone and has no dependents, does not receive any government benefits, and receives $850 from his father to cover his monthly rent and utilities. Plaintiff identifies that his monthly expenses are $1145, and it is unclear what other sources of income he has to cover the remaining monthly household expenses. 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 May 23, 2022 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.
