Plaintiff Randi Petersen (“Plaintiff”), appearing pro se in this action, filed the complaint
in this action on February 9, 2015. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee in this action
and instead filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.
However, Plaintiff’s application is incomplete. Plaintiff provided no response to the questions
pertaining to Plaintiff’s “[o]ther income.” Plaintiff also indicated that she lives in a household
with two other people and share the cost of expenses. Plaintiff did not provide any information
with respect to the income of the other members of her household.
