Executive Summary

A pro se plaintiff's employment discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against Kelly Services received a routine procedural order denying her motion to proceed without prepaying fees (due to incomplete financial disclosure) and requiring an amended complaint by August 25, 2026, due to shotgun pleading deficiencies. This is a Tier 4 procedural ruling with no material financial exposure, no injunction, and no precedent risk — it does not affect Kelly Services' operations or stock price.
