Case No. 4:12CV292 CDP

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiff Connie Steelman, acting pro se, brought this case alleging
violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act by defendant Sonic Drive In of
Rolla, Missouri, LLC. Steelman’s previous counsel filed this case on her behalf
on February 16, 2012. She now seeks to proceed in forma pauperis. However, the
CJA Form 23 Financial Affidavit that accompanies her motion is not signed by the
plaintiff. Therefore, I will deny the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
In any event, she has already paid the filing fee in the case, and she has not
presented any specific request for relief that depends on her being granted in
forma pauperis status at this time.
Additionally, Steelman has filed a motion for relief. She seeks an order
directing defense counsel “to comply with COURTS LAWS OF
ASSERTIVENESS, and NOT HARASSMENT.” This order does not explain the

specific relief sought by Steelman, nor does it explain the alleged harassment
employed by defense counsel. Such vague and conclusory allegations do not
entitle Steelman to any relief from this court.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis [#32] is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to court [#32] is
DENIED, and defendant’s motion to strike [#35] is DENIED AS MOOT.
