BURL, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Before the Court are the Proposed Findings and Recommendations issued by United States
Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 3). Plaintiff Charles Ashford has not filed an
objection to these Proposed Findings and Recommendations, and the time for filing an objection
has passed. For the reasons set forth in the Proposed Findings and Recommendations (Dkt. No.
3), Judge Kearney recommends that this Court deny Mr. Ashford’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis (Dkt. No. 1). After careful review, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and
Recommendations should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted as this Court’s findings in all
respects (Dkt. No. 3).
The Court denies Mr. Ashford’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. No. 1).
Consequently, the Court dismisses without prejudice Mr. Ashford’s complaint (Dkt. No. 2).
Should Mr. Ashford wish to continue prosecuting this case, he must submit the statutory filing fee
of $350 to the Clerk, noting the above case style and number within ten days of the date of entry
of this Order, along with a motion to reopen the case. Only upon timely receipt of the motion and
full payment would this case be reopened.

It is so ordered this the 31st day of July, 2017.
