Opinion
Case No. 2:10-cv-01521-RLH-PAL.
December 1, 2010
ORDER (IFP App — Dkt. #1)
Plaintiff Becky Kariuki is proceeding in this action pro se, has requested authority pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis, and submitted a Complaint (Dkt. #1) on September 7, 2010. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule IB 1-9. Plaintiff has submitted the affidavit required by § 1915(a), and it appears she is unable to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. However, Plaintiff states that she has received income from other sources, but she does not describe the source or amount of the money or what she expects to receive in the future as required in Item 3. Thus, the court cannot determine whether Plaintiff qualifies to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Dkt. #1) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
2. The Clerk of Court shall retain the Complaint and mail Plaintiff a new Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis for non-incarcerated litigants.
3. Plaintiff shall have until December 24, 2010, in which to file the completed Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.
4. Failure to comply with this Order will result in a recommendation to the district judge that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed without prejudice.
Dated this 24th day of November, 2010.
