ANN M. DONNELLY, United States District Judge:
On October 26, 2021, the plaintiff Miriahm Paloma filed this pro se civil action, alleging
violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., and the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. She did not submit the filing fee.
Her initial application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) was insufficient to establish
indigency that would entitle her to proceed without the prepayment of fees, because it did not
state the source or amount of her income or provide any information about her assets or monthly
expenses. (ECF No. 2.) By Order dated November 9, 2021, the Court directed the plaintiff to
pay the filing fee or file a Long Form IFP application to cure this deficiency. (ECF No. 4.) The
plaintiff submitted the Long Form application on November 18, 2021, but it was equally
deficient. (ECF No. 5.) By Order dated December 5, 2021, the Court denied the plaintiff’s IFP
application and directed her to pay the filing fee within 14 days. 1 (ECF No. 6.) The plaintiff has
not submitted the filing fee within the time allowed.

After the Court denied her IPF application, the plaintiff submitted another Long Form application on
December 15, 2021. (ECF No. 7.) It provided even less information than her previous applications and
was also deficient.

CONCLUSION
Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is
respectfully directed to mail a copy of this order to the pro se plaintiff and close this case.

SO ORDERED.
