Case No. 1:15-cv-01927-SMS

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION 

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 2) 

By motion filed December 28, 2015, Plaintiff Lisa Denu, by her attorney, Sharon E. Kelly,

seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff submitted an application which is incomplete. On the 

application, Plaintiff was to provide information concerning her last employment, if she is not 

currently employed. Absent complete information regarding Plaintiff’s financial situation, the Court 

cannot evaluate whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished to justify proceeding without paying 

the filing fee for her lawsuit. 

Additionally, the Court notes that Plaintiff did not include the case number in the caption of 

her application. If Plaintiff elects to submit an amended application, as this order permits her to do, 

she must provide complete case information in the caption of the application. 

Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff

filing fee to the Clerk of the Court within thirty (30) days of this order. If Plaintiff does not pay the
