STATEMENT
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Peggy Richmond’s and Plaintiff Brady Richmond’s
motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. On September 11, 2012, the court denied Plaintiffs’ prior
motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The court also stated that Plaintiffs were given until
September 20, 2012, to either pay the filing fee or file an accurately and properly completed in forma
pauperis application form. In addition the court warned Plaintiffs that if they fail to pay the filing fee or file
an accurately and properly completed in forma pauperis application form by September 20, 2012, this case
would be dismissed. Subsequently, on September 17, 2012, Peggy Richmond filed a motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis. On September 18, 2012, Peggy Richmond filed an additional motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, and Brady Richmond filed a separate motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis.
Plaintiffs have failed to provide the court with accurately and properly completed in forma pauperis
application forms. The three pending in forma pauperis application forms provided to the court contain
conflicting financial information and thus fail to accurately apprise the court of the financial status of

STATEMENT
Plaintiffs. On the in forma pauperis application form submitted by Brady Richmond, he indicates that no one
living at the same residence as him has received more than $200 from annuities in the last twelve months.
However, on the second in forma pauperis application form prepared by Peggy Richmond, she indicates that
she has received $3,267 from annuities in the last twelve months. Peggy Richmond indicates on the second
in forma pauperis application form she submitted that she is the spouse of Brady Richmond and the pro se
appearance form filed in this case lists the same address for Peggy Richmond and Brady Richmond.
Therefore, since Plaintiffs have failed to provide the court with accurately and properly completed in forma
pauperis application forms and have failed to pay the filing fee, the instant action is dismissed.
