Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 5 of 34
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
Comes Now, PLAINTIFF, RAISSA DJUISSI KENGNE, Applicant, asks this Court as follows:
(1) To issue an order granting the applicant an appeal from the order of the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Georgia Atlanta Division, Honorable Catherine M. Salinas,
presiding, in the case styled Raissa Djuissi Kengne, Plaintiff, v. ID.Me, Inc., Defendant, Case No.
1:22-CV-2237, this order having held: that Plaintiffs complaint be DISMISSED without prejudice
for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and the case closed [and that] Plaintiffs application to
proceed in IFP is DENIED. The order was entered on June 10th, 2022 and stamped "filed" on June
101h, 2022.
(2) Applicant shows that jurisdiction is properly in this Court because the courts of appeals have
jurisdiction of appeals pursuant to 28 U.S. Code § 1292 - Interlocutory decisions.
(3) This application for appeal is filed within 30 days of the entry of the order, decision, or
judgment complained of.
(4) Copies of all necessary documents have been attached to this application as exhibits, including
a copy of the order being appealed, a copy of the motion to proceed In Forma Pauperis ("IFP"),
which led directly to the order being appealed, a copy of the Motion for Reconsideration filed as
response to the Court issuance of a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") and the motion to
proceed in Forma Pauperis, and an index to the exhibits.
(5) Interlocutory appellate review is needed because the Court erred in its decision to deny the
motion to proceed in Forma Pauperis.
(6) Applicant submits that an appeal should be granted to correct reversible errors oflaw based on
misinterpreted information, which were not the facts presented by the Plaintiff. Applicant
respectfully shows that if this Honorable Court declines the appeal of this matter and the trial
5 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 6 of 34
court's ruling will be permitted to stand, such would be a miscarriage of justice because Plaintiffs
rights under the 14th Amendment Title 1, 42 U.S.C. § 1104 Unemployment Trust Fund, 26 U.S.C.
3301 et seq. Federal Unemployment Tax Act, and O.C.G.A. § 34-8-45 Supplemental
unemployment benefits would have been violated and Plaintiff damages would not have been
redressed.
I.
INTRODUCTION
Applicant Raissa Djuissi Kengne ("Appellant") seeks to reverse the order denying
Plaintiff's motion to proceed in Forma Pauperis attached at Exhibits 7 and 8.
Motions to proceed IFP on appeal are governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) and Federal Rule
of Appellate Procedure 24. Section 1915(a) provides that any court of the United States may
authorize the commencement, prosecution or defense of any suit, action or proceeding, civil or
criminal, or appeal therein, without prepayment of fees or security therefor, by a person who
submits an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such person possesses that the person is
unable to pay such fees or give security therefor.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The statute forbids a plaintiff to proceed IFP "if the trial court certifies in
writing that [the action] is not taken in good faith."28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Federal Rule of
Appellate Procedure 24 provides:
(1) ... [A] party to a district court action who desires to appeal informa pauperis must file a motion
in
the
district
court.
The
party
must
attach
an
affidavit
that:
(A) shows ... the party's inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs;
(B) claims an entitlement to redress; and
(C)
states
the
issues
that
the
party
intends
to
present
on
appeal.
6 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 7 of 34
Thus, based on§ 1915(a) and Rule 24, to grant a motion to proceed IFP on appeal, the
moving party must submit an affidavit that demonstrates (1) an inability to pay, (2) entitlement
to redress, (3) the issues on appeal, and (4) good faith.
a. Inability to Pay
When considering a motion to proceed IFP, "[t]he only determination to be made by the
court ... is whether the statements in the affidavit satisfy the requirement of poverty." Martinez v.
Kristi Kleaners, Inc., 364 F.3d 1305, 1307 (11th Cir. 2004). To show poverty, the Plaintiff need
not show that he is "absolutely destitute." Id. Instead, the plaintiff must demonstrate that "because
of his poverty, he is unable to pay for the court fees and costs, and to support and provide
necessities for himself and his dependents." Id.
In this case, Plaintiff submitted her Affidavit, her "Plaintiffs Responses And Objections
To The Final Report And Recommendation And Order Issued In Relation To Plaintiff's Original
Complaint, Injunction For Relief, And Declaratory Judgment And Motion To Reconsider
Plaintiff's Initial Motion To Filing In Forma Pauperis" as well as her Motion For Reconsideration
in order to Appeal IFP. (Exhibit 9) In her Motion for Reconsideration, she reports her earned
monthly income as $0.00. Plaintiff has not earned any income in the last seven and a half (7.5)
months and is has received SNAP benefits starting on May 19th, 2022. Plaintiff estimates her
monthly expenses to be $13,125.00 before her constructive discharge from BDO USA, LLP in
November 18th, 2021 due to her protected status as a whistleblower (Exhibits IA and 1B).
Although Plaintiff has no income, she still has approximately the same amount of monthly
expenses, which is spent on mortgage payments, utilities, home maintenance, and healthcare,
among other expenses. Plaintiff is currently operating in deficit and is highly leveraged. These
estimates from Plaintiffs Motion for Reconsideration demonstrate that her expenses are
7 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 8 of 34
tremendously greater than her income. This satisfies the requirement of demonstrating an inability
to pay court fees.
b. Entitlement of Redress
To proceed IFP on appeal, the moving party must also state an entitlement of redress. In
this case, Plaintiffs Complaint and Request for Injunction as well as Motion for Reconsideration
includes "Grant any such additional relief to Plaintiff in law or equity as the Court deems just and
proper under the circumstances". In addition, Plaintiff has submitted an Affidavit that claims "I
believe I am entitled to redress." Plaintiff dated and signed her Affidavit, her Complaint and
Request for Injunction as well as her Motion for Reconsideration. This is sufficient to demonstrate
the fulfillment of the second requirement to proceed IFP on appeal.
c. Issues on Appeal for ID.Me, Inc.
The third condition for proceeding IFP requires the moving party to clearly state the issues
on appeal. Plaintiffs Motion For Reconsideration (Exhibit 9) states four (4).issues to be appealed
related to:
(1) the violation of Plaintiffs rights under the 14th Amendment Section 1; If every person
is afforded an opportunity to have food, shelter, and adequate healthcare, it is ensured that his or
her rights to pursue happiness, life, and liberty are not violated. By delaying and preventing
Plaintiff to have access to her ID.Me account, ID.Me, is wrongfully, illegally, and/or unlawful
depriving Plaintiff of food, shelter, and adequate healthcare. Defendant ID.Me has violated
Plaintiffs unalienable rights under the 14th Amendment Title I by delaying and preventing
Plaintiff to have access to her ID.Me account; thereby, violating Plaintiffs right to Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness as well as due process;
8 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 9 of 34
(2) the violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1104 Unemployment Trust Fund;
(3) the violation of 26 U.S.C. 3301 et seq. Federal Unemployment Tax Act; and
(4) the violation of O.C.G.A. § 34-8-45 Supplemental unemployment benefits.
These statements satisfy the third requirement.
Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates each and every paragraph of the PLAINTIFF'S
COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR INJUNCTION (case number 1:22-CV-2237) and the facts
as if set forth here in full for all purposes.
In evaluating the legal sufficiency of a complaint for purposes of§ 1915( d), the courts apply
the customary standard enunciated in Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 101-102,
2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957), that a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it
appears beyond doubt that the Plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his or her claim,
which would entitle him or her to relief. Plaintiff can prove the facts to support her claims and has
provided evidence to support her claims.
d. Issues on Appeal for Georgia Power
The third condition for proceeding IFP requires the moving party to clearly state the issues
on appeal. Plaintiffs Motion For Reconsideration (Exhibit 9) states four (4) issues to be appealed
related to:
(1)
Plaintiff asserts in Counts 1 through 5, taken together, that the rates that she
was charged were arbitrary and/or unreasonable, due to the fact that the readings were
inaccurate and therefore, the total amount on the Plaintiff's electricity bill was inaccurate;
9 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 10 of 34
thereby, rendering th rate charged to the Plaintiff different from the rates approved by the
Public Service Commission ("PSC").
(2)
Plaintiff asserts in Counts 1 through 5, taken together, that by wrongfully
and/or illegally disconnecting her service without notice, Defendant Georgia Power
violated Plaintiffs due process rights as mandated and protected by the 14th Amendment.
(3) The 14th Amendment also applies to Health, Safety, and Morals. The
Fourteenth Amendment Rights Guaranteed Privileges And Immunities of Citizenship, Due
Process And Equal Protection states that "Even under the narrowest concept of the police
power as limited by substantive due process, it was generally conceded that states could
exercise the power to protect the public health, safety, and morals.
(4) Plaintiff asserts in Counts 1 through 5, taken together, that Georgia Power
violated Plaintiffs 14th Amendment by wrongfully and illegally disconnecting the
electricity. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (''NAACP")
recently released a report called Lights Out in the Cold, Reforming Utility Shut-Off
Policies as if Human Rights Matter. Plaintiffs assertion that electricity and its related
services are a basic human right and that access to electricity is a critical component to the
prosperity, safety and general well-being of every human being, is supported by the
NAACP
research.
The
NAACP
research
report
can
be
found
at
https://naacp.org/resources/lights-out-cold. Without electricity, Plaintiff is unable to have
access to adequate food, health, and safety.
These statements satisfy the third requirement.
e. Good Faith
10 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 11 of 34
Finally, the fourth requirement to proceed IFP on appeal is good faith. The test for whether
an appeal is taken in good faith under section 1915(a) is whether the litigant seeks appellate review
of any issue that is not frivolous. Mixon v. Corizon, Inc., 2012 WL 1136331 at *2 (S.D. Ala. Mar.
30, 2012). A claim is frivolous if it is "without ·arguable merit either in law or fact." Bilal v. Driver,
251 F.3d 1346, 1349 (11th Cir. 2001). In this case, the issues on appeal, as listed above, are not
frivolous.
To summarize, Plaintiff Raissa Djuissi Kengne has satisfied the four (4) requirements for
proceeding IFP on appeal, and therefore, her Motion to Proceed in IFP (Exhibit 6) should be
granted.
II.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE - APPEAL
This Application for Interlocutory Appeal is brought pursuant to 28 U.S. Code§ 1292;
(a) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d) of this section, the courts of appeals shall have
jurisdiction of appeals from:
(1) Interlocutory orders of the district courts of the United States, the United States District
Court for the District of the Canal Zone, the District Court of Guam, and the District Court of the
Virgin Islands, or of the judges thereof, granting, continuing, modifying, refusing or dissolving
injunctions, or refusing to dissolve or modify injunctions, except where a direct review may be

(2) Interlocutory orders appointing receivers, or refusing orders to wind up receiverships
or to take steps to accomplish the purposes thereof, such as directing sales or other disposals of

11 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 12 of 34
(3) Interlocutory decrees of such district courts or the judges thereof determining the rights
and liabilities of the parties to admiralty cases in which appeals from final decrees are allowed.
(b) When a district judge, in making in a civil actibn an order not otherwise appealable under this
section, shall be of the opinion that such order involves a controlling question of law as to which
there is substantial ground for difference of opinion and that an immediate appeal from the order
may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation, he shall so state in writing in
such order. The Court of Appeals which would have jurisdiction of an appeal of such action may
thereupon, in its discretion, permit an appeal to be taken from such order, if application is made to
it within ten days after the entry of the order: Provided, however, That application for an appeal
hereunder shall not stay proceedings in the district court unless the district judge or the Court of
Appeals or a judge thereof shall so order.
(c) The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit shall have exclusive jurisdiction-
( 1) of an appeal from an interlocutory order or decree described in subsection (a) or (b) of
this section in any case over which the court would have jurisdiction of an appeal under section
1295 of this title; and
(2) of an appeal from a judgment in a civil action for patent infringement which would
otherwise be appealable to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and is final
except for an accounting.
(d)
(1) When the chief judge of the Court of International Trade issues an order under the
provisions of section 256(b) of this title, or when any judge of the Court of International Trade, in
issuing any other interlocutory order, includes in the order a statement that a controlling question
of law is involved with respect to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion and
12 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 13 of 34
that an immediate appeal from that order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the
litigation, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit may, in its discretion, permit
an appeal to be taken from such order, if application is made to that Court within ten days after the
entry of such order.
(2) When the chief judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims issues an order under
section 798(b) of this title, or when any judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims, in
issuing an interlocutory order, includes in the order a statement that a controlling question of law
is involved with respect to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion and that
an immediate appeal from that order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the
litigation, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit may, in its discretion, permit
an appeal to be taken from such order, if application is made to that Court within ten days after the
entry of such order.
(3) Neither the application for nor the granting of an appeal under this subsection shall stay
proceedings in the Court oflntemational Trade or in the Court of Federal Claims, as the case may
be, unless a stay is ordered by a judge of the Court oflntemational Trade or of the Court of Federal
Claims or by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit or a judge of that court.
(4)
(A) The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit shall have exclusive
jurisdiction of an appeal from an interlocutory order of a district court of the United States,
the District Court of Guam, the District Court of the Virgin Islands, or the District Court
for the Northern Mariana Islands, granting or denying, in whole or in part, a motion to
transfer an action to the United States Court of Federal Claims under section 1631 of this
title.
13 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 14 of 34
(B) When a motion to transfer an action to the Court of Federal Claims is filed in a
district court, no further proceedings shall be taken in the district court until 60 days after
the court has ruled upon the motion. If an appeal is taken from the district court's grant or
denial of the motion, proceedings shall be further stayed until the appeal has been decided
by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The stay of proceedings in the district court
shall not bar the granting of preliminary or injunctive relief, where appropriate and where
expedition is reasonably necessary. However, during the period in which proceedings are
stayed as provided in this subparagraph, no.transfer to the Court of Federal Claims pursuant
to the motion shall be carried out.
( e) The Supreme Court may prescribe rules, in accordance with section 2072 of this title, to provide
for an appeal of an interlocutory decision to the courts of appeals that is not otherwise provided
for under subsection (a), (b), (c), or (d).
III.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE - COMPLAINT AND
REQUEST FOR INJUNCTION
The Plaintiffs case against ID.ME, Inc. falls under the following U.S. Civil Statutes.
a.
42 U.S.C. § 1104 Unemployment Trust Fund
b.
26 U.S.C. 3301 et seq. Federal Unemployment Tax Act
c.
O.C.G.A. § 34-8-45 Supplemental unemployment benefits
d.
14th Amendment Section 1.
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this case because the Plaintiffs claims arise
under the laws of the State of Georgia and the United States. It has jurisdiction over the Plaintiffs
state law and regulations claims because they are so closely related to the federal claims as to form
14 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 15 of 34
part of the same case or controversy. The N orthem District of Georgia consists of four ( 4) divisions
as outlined and described in 28 U.S.C. § 90. The Atlanta Division comprises the counties of
Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, and Rockdale.
Pursuant to 28 U.S. Code § 1391, a civil action may be brought in a judicial district in
which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or a substantial
part of property that is the subject of the action is situated.
Pursuant to 28 U.S. Code§ 1391, for purposes of venue in a State, which has more than
one judicial district and in which a defendant that is a corporation is subject to personal jurisdiction
at the time an action is commenced, such corporation shall be deemed to reside in any district in
that State within which its contacts would be sufficient to subject it to personal jurisdiction if that
district were a separate State, and, if there is no such district, the corporation shall be deemed to

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
a. Timeline:
Plaintiff signed up for an ID.me account on April 22nd, 2022 at Georgia DOL to receive
unemployment benefits. Plaintiff was unable to create an ID.Me account and contacted ID.Me
customer support on May 16th, 2022. Plaintiff received an email from ID.Me stating that "A
Member Support Representative will be reaching out as soon as possible with assistance. For your
records, your ticket number is 10770653." Plaintiff received additional emails from Shamora
(Member Support Associate) on May 17th, 2022 and nothing since then despite several emails
from Plaintiff. Plaintiff received an email from John (Member Support Associate) on May 27th,
2022 and shortly thereafter, had a video conference call with John to validate Plaintiffs identity.
Plaintiff is still not able to access her account on ID.Me in order to receive unemployment benefits.

(Member Support Associate) on May 17th, 2022 and nothing since then despite several emails
from Plaintiff. Plaintiff received an email from John (Member Support Associate) on May 27th,
2022 and shortly thereafter, had a video conference call with John to validate Plaintiffs identity.
Plaintiff is still not able to access her account on ID.Me in order to receive unemployment benefits.
c. Irreparable Injury:
Preventing Plaintiffs access to unemployment benefits will cause "irreparable harm"
because Plaintiff will not be able to pay for housing or food. In addition, Plaintiff was
constructively discharged from BDO USA, her former employment, because of retaliation after
notifying her supervisor, the SEC, and the PCAOB of unethical behaviors that are in violation of
SEC regulations and PCAOB standards exhibited by Wesley Freeman, Scott Meier, Peter Poppo,
Paul Davidson, Mark Davenport, and Johnson Wong at the following public companies and their
affiliates: Interface, Atlanticus, BioHorizons (Henry Schein's subsidiary), Otelco, BlueLinx, NMS
SPAR (subsidiary of SPAR). Since Plaintiff filed a complaint with the SEC and the PCAOB, her
home has been broken into. Her phones and computers have been hacked. (Case No.
2022CV365268) Also, Plaintiff has been unable to access the limited amount of money she had
invested on the Gemini platform. Furthermore, the economy has not yet fully recovered and
Plaintiff is dealing with a complex set of issues such as non-existent income due to being
blacklisted in the industry and ongoing concerns about the pandemic.
A loss of housing or medical care and the inability to provide food, shelter and adequate
childcare for a family constitute irreparable harm pending resolution of this cause of action and
are not adequately compensable by an award of damages.

ENUMERATION OF ERRORS AND CITATION TO
AUTHORITY
A. Objections, Responses, and Arguments to Statement of Analysis 1:
United Stated Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas asserts in the Final Report And
Recommendation And Order issued in relation to the Plaintiff's Original Complaint, Injunction
For Relief, And Declaratory Judgment that "The affidavit of poverty submitted by Plaintiff
indicates that over the past twelve months, Plaintiff, has earned an average monthly income of
$7,500 from her employment and retirement, which amounts to $90,000 on an annual basis."
The information and interpretations presented in the Report related to the Plaintiff's
financial situation are incomplete and are therefore not facts. Plaintiff's monthly income over the
past seven and a half (7.5) months is $0.00.
Plaintiff did not leave her job; Plaintiff was constructively discharged. The Occupational
Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") defines Constructively Discharged as "quitting when
an employer makes working conditions intolerable due to the employees' protected activity)",
which Plaintiff performed as a Whistleblower and rendered a service to the community. Plaintiff
has opened a complaint with OSHA.
In addition, Plaintiff has provided in Exhibit 1 herein evidence showing that her home was
broken into, she was blacklisted from her industry, and prevented to find a job in line with her·
qualifications due to the subject matter of case number 2022CV365268 filed in Fulton County
Superior Court.
Plaintiff has utilized all her retirement savings in order to pay for the security and safety of
her family, which is also related to the subject matter of case number 2022CV365268 filed in
19 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 20 of 34
Fulton County Superior Comi. Therefore, the average monthly income of $7,500 from Plaintiffs
employment and retirement, does not reflect the fact that the money was used for safety and
security expenses in view of the threats Plaintiff and her family were faced with. Plaintiffs
priorities were and are perfectly aligned to the law of God and the thought process of any
reasonable person. In view of the subject matter in case number 2022CV365268, Plaintiffs family
came first and she spent a considerable amount of money to ensure their security and safety.
Further, Plaintiff has provided in Exhibits 2 and 3 herein evidence that she was not able to
receive unemployment benefits since her constructive discharge on November 18th, 2022. The
Plaintiffs lawsuit against ID.Me, Inc. is to allow Plaintiff to receive her unemployment benefits.
The Plaintiff lawsuit against ID.ME, Inc. is documented in case file number 1 :22-CV-2237.
Based on the information provided above, Plaintiff is unable to pay the legal filing fees
because she does not have any income and is being blacklisted from the industry she works in.
B. Objections, Responses, and Arguments Statement of Analysis 2:
United Stated Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas asserts in the Final Report And
Recommendation And Order issued in relation to the Plaintiffs Original Complaint, Injunction

For Relief, And Declaratory Judgment that Plaintiff "owns a condominium valued at
21 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 22 of 34
approximately $500,000, a land lot worth $55,000, and an abandoned house worth approximately
$200,000."
The facts presented in the Report related to the Plaintiffs financial situation are
incomplete. Plaintiffs liabilities on the properties listed, particularly the condominium, the land,
and the abandoned house as well as the state of pre-foreclosure on certain of the said properties
were not taken into consideration by the Judge of the Magistrate Court. Plaintiff does not have
significant equity in the land and the house. Due to the foreclosure process, Plaintiff may not
receive any funds from the sale of those properties.
Plaintiff has provided in Exhibit 4 herein evidence showing that the said properties are at
risk of foreclosure. The abandoned and inhabitable house worth approximately $200,000 is
mortgaged with Delta Community Credit Union. The land lot worth approximately $55,000 is
mortgaged with AGSOUTH Farm Credit, ACA. Both properties are under foreclosure notices as
shown in Exhibit 4.
Plaintiffs main asset is the condominium with a value of approximately $500,000, which
is Plaintiffs primary residence and is subject to a mortgage that Plaintiff is also unable to pay due
to the subject matter of case number 2022CV365268 filed in Fulton County Superior Court.
In addition, Plaintiff has provided in Exhibit 2 herein evidence showing that her home was

United Stated Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas asserts in the Final Report And
Recommendation And Order issued in relation to the Plaintiffs Original Complaint, Injunction
For Relief, And Declarato~ Judgment that "Plaintiffs allegations of poverty are not fully
supported by the record. With an annual income of approximately $90,000, Plaintiff is well above
the poverty level."
The information and interpretations presented in the Report related to the Plaintiffs
financial situation are incomplete and are therefore not facts. Plaintiffs monthly income over the
past seven and a half (7 .5) months is $0.00.
Plaintiff did not leave her job; Plaintiff was constructively discharged. The Occupational

E. Objections, Responses, and Arguments To Statement of Analysis 5:
United Stated Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas asserts in the Final Report And
Recommendation And Order issued in relation to the Plaintiffs Original Complaint, Injunction
For Relief, And Declaratory Judgment that "Although Plaintiff lists average monthly expenses of
$13,125.00, some of the discretionary amounts for one person seem unnecessarily high, such as
$1,000 for food, $200 for laundry and dry cleaning, and $6,000 in monthly credit card installment
payments to Bank of America, Citi Bank, and American Express. Although Plaintiff may have
limited funds and may have other priorities for those funds, I believe that she is able to pay the
required $402 filing fee and should do so of she wishes to pursue this case. For the reasons stated,
24 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 25 of 34
I find thar Plaintiff has sufficient means to pay the filing fee and incur the costs of these
proceedings. Thus, Plaintiffs request to proceed IFP is DENIED."
Plaintiff $1,000 for food would include all her grocery items, including toilet paper and
cleaning products, which is not uncommon in the city where Plaintiff lives.
Plaintiffs expense for laundry and dry-cleaning amounting to approximately $200 was
prior to her constructive discharge on November 18th, 2022 as shown in Exhibit 3. Since then,
Plaintiff has focused her efforts into ensuring the security and safety of her family. Plaintiff is now
looking for justice for herself and her family.
Plaintiffs monthly income over the past seven and a half (7.5) months is $0.00.
Plaintiff did not leave her job; Plaintiff was constructively discharged. The Occupational

On December 6, 2019, the Second Circuit (Calabresi, Pooler, Park) issued a published per
curiam decision in United States v. Kosic (Nunez), concerning the defendant-appellant's motion
for in forma pauperis ("IFP") status in his direct criminal appeal. The appellant's motion arose
from a district court order denying his IFP motion based on a finding that the appeal would be
frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915. In its published decision, the Second Circuit granted the
motion and held that it is proper to consider only the defendant's financial eligibility-and not the
merits-when deciding motions for IFP status and appointment of counsel under the Criminal
Justice Act ("CJA") in a direct criminal appeal.
As the Court explained, a litigant seeking IFP status on appeal generally must first seek a
ruling in the district court. If the district court denies the motion and finds that an appeal cannot be
taken in good faith, then the defendant may seek an IFP determination from the appellate court.
When the appellate court reviews such motions, it applies different standards depending on
27 of33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 28 of 34
whether the case is civil or criminal. In the civil context, the Court considers the merits of an
appeal.
Plaintiff has provided in Exhibit 5 evidence showing her expenses and that she could no
longer draw from her credit cards.
Plaintiff has provided herein evidence that her request to proceed in IFP was not frivolous
or malicious. Based on the information and documents provided herein, Plaintiff is unable to pay
the legal filing fees because she does not have any income and is being blacklisted from the
industry she works in.
G. Plaintiffs Request Related To Her Motion To Proceed in Form a Pauperis
Plaintiff hereby requests that her motion to proceed in IFP be reconsidered by the Court
for her case against ID.Me, Inc. (1 :22-CV-2297) as well as her cases against ID.ME, Inc. (case file
number 1:22-CV-2237), and AGSOUTH FARM CREDIT, ACA (case file number l:22-CV-
2263).
H. Plaintiffs Additional Filing
Plaintiff filed a corresponding Plaintiffs Motion For Reconsideration of Plaintiffs Motion
to Proceed in Format Pauperis under case number 1 :22-CV-2297 in June 21st, 2022 titled
"OBJECTIONS to 4 Report and Recommendation" along with attachments and exhibits that were
entered on 06/22/2022.

ARGUMENTS AND CITATIONS TO AUTHORITY
1. The 14th Amendment - Title I
Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates each and every paragraph of this PLAINTIFF'S
COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR INJUNCTION (case number 1:22-CV-2237) and the facts
as if set forth here in full for all purposes.
The 14th Amendment Section 1 states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein
they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges· or
immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty,
or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
Plaintiff asserts in her Complaint and Request For Injunction that preventing Plaintiffs
access to unemployment benefits will cause "irreparable harm" because Plaintiff will not be able
to pay for her food, her mortgage, healthcare, and safety.
Plaintiff was constructively discharged fro!-11 BDO USA, her former employment, because
of her status as a whistleblower and _ the retaliatory practices she faced after notifying her
supervisor, the SEC, and the PCAOB of unethical behaviors that are in violation of SEC
29 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 30 of 34
regulations and PCAOB standards exhibited by Wesley Freeman, Scott Meier, Peter Poppo, Paul
Davidson, Mark Davenport, and Johnson Wong at the following ~ublic companies and their
affiliates: Interface, Atlanticus, BioHorizons (Henry Schein's subsidiary), Otelco, BlueLinx, NMS
SP AR (subsidiary_ of ~PAR).
Since Plaintiff filed a complaint with the SEC and the PCAOB, her home has' been broken
into. Her phones and computers have been hacked. (Case No. 2022CV365268) Also,
Plaintiff has been unable to access the limited amount of money she had invested. on the
Gemini platform.
Furthermore, the economy has not yet fully recovered and Plaintiff is dealing with a
complex set of issues such as non-existent income due to being blacklisted in the industry as well
as ongoing concerns about the pandemic.·
Because of the delay and refusal to provide Plaintiff with an ID.Me account, ID.Me has
contributed to Plaintiff not being able to receive income from her unemployment and has rendered
more difficult the current financial hardship experienced by Plaintiff, including but not limited to
the ability to pay for food, mortgage and healthcare.
A loss of housing or medical care and the inability to provide food, shelter and adequate
healthcare constitute irreparable harm and are not adequately compensable by an award of
damages.
If every person is afforded an opportunity to have food, shelter, and adequate healthcare,
it is ensured that his or her rights to pursue happiness, life, and liberty are not violated. By delaying
'
and preventing Plaintiff to have access to her ID.Me account, ID.Me, is wrongfully, illegally,
and/or unlawful depriving Plaintiff of food, shelter, and adequate healthcare.
30 of 33
Case 1:22-cv-02237-SEG Document 5 Filed 07/05/22 Page 31 of 34
Defendant ID.Me has violated Plaintiffs unalienable rights under the 14th Amendment
Title I by delaying and preventing Plaintiff to have access to her ID.Me.account; thereby, violating
Plaintiffs right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness as well as due process.
2. The 14th Amendment- Public Health, Safety, and Morals
Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates each and every paragraph of this PLAINTIFF'S
COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR INJUNCTION (case number 1:22-CV-2237) and the facts
as if set forth here in full for all purposes.
The 14th Amendment also applies to Health, Safety, and Morals. The Fourteenth
Amendment Rights Guaranteed Privileges And Immunities of Citizenship, Due Process And Equal
Protection states that "Even under the narrowest concept of the police power. as limited by
substantive due process, it was generally conceded that states could exercise the power to protect
the public health, safety, and morals.
Plaintiff asserts in her Complaint and Request For Injunction that ID .Me violated Plaintiffs
14th Amendment by delaying and preventing Plaintiffs access to her ID.Me account. Food,
shelter, and healthcare are basic human rights. Plaintiff asserts that access to food, shelter, and
healthcare are critical component to the prosperity, safety and general well-being of every human
being. Without her ID.Me account, Plaintiff is not able to pay for adequate food, healthcare,
shelter, and safety.
Defendant ID.Me has violated Plaintiffs unalienable rights under the second paragraph of
the American Declaration of Independence by delaying and preventing Plaintiffs access to her
ID.Me account, thereby, violating Plaintiffs rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,
to due process, and to Health, Safety, and Morals.

3. Claim and Prayer For Relief:
In evaluating the legal sufficiency of a complaint for purposes of§ 1915( d), the courts apply
the customary standard enunciated in Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct b. 99, 101-
. 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957), that a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim
unless it appears beyond doubt that the Plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his or her
claim, which would entitle him or her to relief. Plaintiff can prove to facts to support her claims
and has provided evidence to support her claims.·
Plaintiffs Prayers for Relief to the Court in Plaintiffs Complaint and Request For
Injunction include, but is not iimited to, a Court's request to "Grant any such additional relief to
.
.
Plaintiff in law or equity as _the Court deems just and proper under the circumstances." Plaintiffs
request includes actual and punitive damages.
