ORDER
On April 11 ,2013, United States Magistrate Judge Gary M. Purcell issued a Report
and Recommendation in this matter and recommended that the Court deny the Application
to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs filed by Tracie Williams.
Magistrate Judge Purcell also recommended that this action be dismissed if Williams did
not pay the filing fee of $350.00 in the full amount by May 1, 2013. Although Williams had

on April 17, 2013. See Doc. 5.

disposition of Williams' request to proceed in forma pauperis.
