$3,000 yearly in support of two children. However, she does not have a monthly income, bank account, or any other assets. It is thus unclear how plaintiff covers her monthly expenses. 1

These conflicting and incomplete responses preclude me from meaningfully evaluating plaintiff's eligibility to proceed in forma pauperis. For these reasons, and for good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that by no later than Monday, September 8, 2008, plaintiff must either submit an amended application or pay the ordinary filing fee and proceed accordingly. Failure

to take one of these actions by that date will result in dismissal of this action without prejudice. Any amended

application should address the questions raised in this Order. Plaintiff is reminded that if she chooses to pay the filing fee rather than amend her application, she is responsible for serving her complaint and any amendments or attachments, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4.
