UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MARGARET BACH,
Plaintiff,
-vs-

Case No. 13-C-734

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.

DECISION AND ORDER

Margaret Bach requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis on her claim that
she is entitled to a tax refund and that the IRS issued an unlawful tax levy against her.
Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph recently denied Bach’s request to proceed IFP in a
separate lawsuit. Bach v. Milwaukee County, Case No. 13-C-370, April 30, 2013
Order on Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, ECF No. 22. Bach now
states that she is unemployed, and that the value in her early distribution pension has
been whittled down from $31,542 to approximately $9,000. However, the Court
agrees with Judge Joseph’s overarching observation that some of Ms. Bach’s monthly
expenses do not appear to be consistent with indigency. Id. at 4. Therefore, Bach’s
motion is and will be denied. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).
Bach’s motion to proceed IFP [ECF No. 2] is DENIED. Bach must pay the
$400 filing fee within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order, or this matter will be
dismissed for want of prosecution.

Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 1st day of July, 2013.
