WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
FORT SMITH DIVISION
KENNETH LEWIS
v.

PLAINTIFF
CIVIL NO. 13-2158

CAROLYN W. COLVIN1, Commissioner
Social Security Administration

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Plaintiff has submitted a complaint for filing in this district, together with a request for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. ECF Nos. 1, 2. The undersigned finds that more information is needed to
rule on Plaintiff’s IFP application.
The application indicates that Plaintiff is receiving Arkansas-Oklahoma Gas Company pension
and gas well land royalties. It does not, however, indicate the amount received from these sources.
Without this information, the Court cannot rule on Plaintiff’s application. Accordingly, Plaintiff is
directed to file an amended application on or before July 8, 2013. Should Plaintiff fail to comply within
the required period of time, her complaint will become subject to summary dismissal for failure to obey
a court order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 24th day of June 2013.
