REGINALD A. GREEN,
Plaintiff,
vs.

STATE OF FLORIDA, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
This case is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Doc. 15) and
Affidavit of Indigency (Doc. 2) and Amended Affidavit of Indigency (Doc. 9), which the
Court construes as motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Upon review of these filings, the assigned United States
Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that the
Motions to Proceed In Forma Pauperis be denied and that the complaint be dismissed
without prejudice to plaintiff filing a paid complaint (Doc. 16). No objections were filed
and the time in which to do so has now passed.
Accordingly, upon independent review of the file and for the reasons stated in
the Report and Recommendation issued by the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 16), it is
hereby
ORDERED:

1.

The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16) of the Magistrate Judge is

ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2.

Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2) and Amended

Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 9) are DENIED.
3.

No later than, August 21, 2012, plaintiff shall pay the filing fee to

continue the prosecution of this case. Plaintiff’s failure to pay the filing fee by the
August 21, 2012 deadline will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice
without further notice. The Clerk shall close the file now subject to reopening if
plaintiff pays the filing fee.
DONE AND ORDERED at Jacksonville, Florida this 9th day of July, 2012.
