Candace Smith, proceeding pro se, filed a complaint in this action on February 15, 2024. 

(ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee and instead filed an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF No. 2.) However, Plaintiff’s application to 

proceed in forma pauperis is incomplete. Specifically, Plaintiff failed to provide a complete

response to question number two regarding her take-home salary or wages. (Id.) Plaintiff must 

submit a complete application if she wishes for her application to proceed in forma pauperis to 

be considered by the Court.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is DENIED 

without prejudice;
