He indicated no income, no sources of money, no money on hand or in accounts, no property, and no monthly expenses. By Minute Order dated August 28, 2018, the Court advised plaintiff it was unable to consider the IFP request without complete and detailed financial information, including an explanation as to how he is able to meet basic monthly expenses, including food and shelter. (Dkt. 4.)

To date, the Court has not received an amended IFP application or any other response to the Court's Order. Accordingly, the Court recommends the motion to proceed IFP (Dkt. 1) be DENIED. This action should proceed only if plaintiff pays the $400.00 filing fee within thirty (30) days after entry of the Court's Order adopting this Report and Recommendation. If no filing fee is paid within thirty days of the Court's Order, the Clerk should close the file.
