At the times at issue in this case , Plaintiff was
incarcerated at the Boone County Detention Center.
Plaintiff failed to submit with her complaint an in forma pauperis (I FP) application or
the $400 filing fee. By order (Doc. 6) entered on January 13, 2017 , Plaintiff was given until
January 31 , 2017 , to complete and submit an IFP application or pay the filing fee. In that
same order, Plaintiff was advised that the Boone County Sheriff's Department could not
be sued under§ 1983. She was given until January 31 , 2017 , to advise the Court if she
wanted to substitute an individual or individuals in place of the Sheriff's Department. She
was advised that failure to comply with the order may result in the dismissal of the case.

On March 14, 2017 , a show cause order (Doc. 11) was entered. Plaintiff was given
