_________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 5) AND
DENYING PLAINTIFF’S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS (ECF
NO. 2)
On November 29, 2016, Plaintiff filed her Complaint and an Application to Proceed
In Forma Pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) On December 7, 2016, Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A.
Stafford issued a Report and Recommendation to deny Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In
Forma Pauperis, finding that Plaintiff’s financial condition was not sufficiently constrained
that Plaintiff was unable to pay the filing fee for her case. (ECF No. 5, Report and
Recommendation.)

There have been no timely objections to the Report and

Recommendation filed under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Mich L.R. 72.1(d), and indeed
Plaintiff paid the filing fee on December 27, 2016.

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and DENIES
Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
