ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed
In Forma Pauperis [Doc. 2].
The Plaintiff, who is represented by counsel, seeks to proceed with this
civil action without having to prepay the costs associated with prosecuting
the matter.

The Plaintiff’s motion, however, fails to provide all of the

information that the Court requires to determine whether the Plaintiff has
sufficient resources from which to pay the filing fee for this action.
Consequently, the Plaintiff’s motion is denied without prejudice. Should the
Plaintiff refile her motion, she should use the Application to Proceed in
District Court without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form) (AO 239), which
is available through the Court’s website, http://www.ncwd.uscourts.gov.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed
In Forma Pauperis [Doc. 2] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Plaintiff shall file an Amended
Application, using AO Form 239, within thirty (30) days of entry of this Order.
Failure to file an Amended Application within the time required will
result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
