Counsel is reminded that an IFP application submitted to the Court should be complete in its
entirety to the extent possible. E.g., question number 2 asks the applicant for the amount of takehome salary or wages, in addition to the date and location of his last employer. Complete
information is essential in the Court’s determination of whether Plaintiff is sufficiently impoverished
to justify proceeding without paying the filing fee for his lawsuit.
