ORDER Adopting 6 Report and Recommendation and Ordering Plaintiff to Pay Filing Fee. Signed by District Judge Stephen J. Murphy, III. (CCoh)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
BRUCE J. HARRIER,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 16-cv-11456

v.

HONORABLE STEPHEN J. MURPHY, III

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,
Defendant.
/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
(document no. 6), AND ORDERING PLAINTIFF TO PAY FILING FEE
Plaintiff Bruce Harrier appealed the Social Security Administration’s denial of his
application for social security disability benefits. He filed an application to proceed without
the prepayment of filing fees. ECF No. 2. The Magistrate Judge ordered Harrier to file a
completed application by May 6, 2016. ECF No. 5. After Harrier failed to complete his
application, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court deny the application to
proceed without prepayment of fees, reasoning that the supporting affidavit was wholly
inadequate. Report 3–4, ECF No. 6. Under Civil Rule 72, the Plaintiff had fourteen days to
file an objection. More than a month passed, however, and Harrier failed to object to the
Report. Accordingly the Court will adopt the Report and deny the application to proceed
without prepayment of fees.
ORDER
WHEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation
(document no. 6) is ADOPTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Harrier has fourteen (14) days to pay the filing fee,
or the Court will dismiss the case without prejudice.

SO ORDERED.
