ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO SUPPLEMENT HER JANUARY 25,
2016 APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN DISTRICT COURT WITHOUT
PREPAYING FEES OR COSTS (DE 2)
A.

Background
On January 25, 2016, Marie D. Taylor filed a complaint (DE 1) for judicial

review of the Commissioner of Social Security’s November 23, 2015 decision. On
the same day, she also filed an application (DE 2) to proceed in district court without
prepaying fees or costs. Each of these filings was electronically filed by attorney
Wesley J. Lamey (P73613).
B.

Discussion
This case has been referred to the undersigned for pretrial matters. (DE 4.)

Having reviewed Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (DE 2), the

Court concludes that it is not in a position to rule at this time. The form application
(AO 240) contains answers to some questions but is blank as to others. See DE 2 ¶¶
5-8.
C.

Order
Upon consideration, the application to proceed in district court without

prepaying fees or costs (DE 2) is HELD IN ABEYANCE. Within ten (10) days of
the date of this order, Plaintiff SHALL file a supplemental application which fully
answers the questions asked, preferably with the assistance of her counsel.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 26, 2016
