ORDER
JEROME T. KEARNEY, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's Motions to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (DE #1). Plaintiff has no income but lists financial obligations. Because no income information is provided, the Court finds the application incomplete.
The purpose of 28 U.S.C. § 1915 is to ensure that indigent litigants have an entre, not a barrier, to the federal courts. In re Williamson, 786 F.2d 1336, 1338 (8th Cir. 1986) (quoting Souder v. McGuire, 516 F.2d 820, 823 (3rd Cir. 1975)). Although a claimant need not be completely destitute to take advantage of the IFP statute, he or she must show that paying the filing fee would result in an undue financial hardship. Williamson, 786 F.2d at 1338.
The Court hereby directs Plaintiff to provide within fourteen (14) days of this Order some explanation as to his source(s) of income and/or means of supporting himself.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
