PRISCILLA A. ELLIS ERKKILA, Plaintiff, v. C.R. BARD, INC., et al. Defendants.
Edmund A. Sargus Judge
ORDER
KIMBERLY A. JOLSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. §1915(a). (Doc. 1). Because Plaintiff has not provided any information regarding her income and expenses, the Court cannot determine whether Plaintiff meets the legal standard applicable to a motion to proceed in forma pauperis-that is, whether she cannot pay the Court's filing fee without depriving herself the “necessities of life.” Adkins v. E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc., 335 U.S. 331, 339 (1948) (internal quotation marks omitted). The Clerk is DIRECTED to mail Plaintiff a copy of this Order, along with a copy of the Court's form Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fee and Affidavit in Support Thereof.
Plaintiff is ORDERED to submit the completed application and affidavit to the Court within fourteen days of the date of this Order. Failure to do so may result in a recommendation that her motion be denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
