The plaintiff has timely filed objections to the report-recommendation. Based upon a careful review of the entire file, including the portions to which the plaintiff has objected, and the recommendations of Magistrate Judge Treece, the ReportRecommendation is accepted and adopted in all respects. See 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that 1. Plaintiff's in forma pauperis status is REVOKED; 2. Plaintiff's amended complaint (Docket No. 5) is CONDITIONALLY DISMISSED until such time as plaintiff has payed the entire $350.00 filing fee; 3.
