Plaintiff,
vs.
MEDICREDIT, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER

THIS MATTER is matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s submission of additional tax
documents in support of her Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) (Doc. No. 2) and
Motion for Reconsideration (Doc. No. 4).
The Court initially denied Ms. Boston IFP filing status due to an ambiguity in her initial
application and first submission of tax documents proving eligibility.

She has now filed

additional tax documents, including her individual income tax return from 2013 and relevant
schedules related to her business expenses. While Ms. Boston has complied with the Court’s
previous orders, the Court finds that vehicle expense she had listed ($17, 932) is significantly
disproportionate to her gross income ($24, 089). Therefore, the Court orders documentation to
support the amount that she claims as an expense. The Court must determine whether that
expense was cash or non-cash (i.e., depreciation) in order to decide whether Ms. Boston has the
available cash to pay the court filing fee.
Thus, the Court orders Ms. Boston to submit documents supporting the amount she
claimed as a vehicle expense.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
