Bach v. United States

RUDOLPH T. RANDA

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.
