REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
MARY ALICE THEILER, Chief Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in this civil matter. (Dkt. 1.) However, her application reveals that her spouse earns $5,148.00 monthly and that she received a $40,000.00 loan from her parents within the past twelve months, has $1,200.00 in her checking account, and has a total of some $276,557.00 in various investments and property. While plaintiff has monthly expenses approaching the amount of her spouse's income ($4,596.00) and an undisclosed amount of outstanding medical expenses, it remains that she appears to have the funds available to pay the filing fee in this matter. As such, plaintiff does not financially qualify for IFP status. The Court, therefore, recommends the IFP application be DENIED. This action should proceed only if plaintiff pays the $400 filing fee within thirty (30) days after entry of the Court's Order adopting this Report and Recommendation. If no filing fee is paid within thirty days of the Court's Order, the Clerk should close the file.
