ORDER

The Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommendations from United States

Recommendations, and the timely objections received thereto (Dkt. No. 7), as well as a de novo
review of the record, the Court adopts them in their entirety.
It is therefore ordered that:

wish to continue in this case, she must submit the statutory filing fee of $400.00 to the Clerk,
noting the above case style and number, together with a motion to reopen the case, within 10
days of the date of this Order. Upon receipt of the motion and full payment, the case will be
reopened.

Ms. Lyons’s complaint and amended complaint are dismissed without prejudice.

4.

Ms. Lyons’s other pending motions are denied without prejudice as moot (Dkt.

Nos. 8, 9, 17, 19, 20, 21).
An appropriate Judgment shall accompany this Order.

SO ORDERED this the 21st day of May, 2015.
