STATEMENT
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Simona Tsoupeis’ (Tsoupeis) pro se motion for an
extension. On October 19, 2012, the court denied Tsoupeis’ first motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. The court gave Tsoupeis until November 6, 2012, to either pay the filing fee or file an accurately
and properly completed in forma pauperis application form. The court also warned Tsoupeis if she failed to
pay the filing fee or file an accurately and properly completed in forma pauperis application form by
November 6, 2012, this case would be dismissed. On November 1, 2012, Tsoupeis filed a second motion for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Tsoupeis indicated that she is married, that her spouse earns $1,400 per
month, and that someone living at Tsoupeis’ residence has received $4,700 in other income in the last twelve
months. Since Tsoupeis had not shown herself to be sufficiently indigent to warrant granting her motion for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, the motion was denied. The court gave Tsoupeis until November 28,
2012, to pay the filing fee in this case. The court also warned Tsoupeis that if she failed to pay the filing fee
by November 28, 2012, this case would be dismissed. On November 26, 2012, Tsoupeis filed the instant
motion requesting an extension of time to pay the filing fee. Since Tsoupeis is proceeding pro se, the court
will grant Tsoupeis’ request and will give Tsoupeis one more opportunity to pay the filing fee. Tsoupeis is
