Plaintiff,
v.
NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner, Social Security
Administration,
Defendant.

Case No. CIV-17-975-BMJ

ORDER
This matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation issued
by United States Magistrate Judge Bernard M. Jones on September 26, 2017. Judge Jones
recommends the denial of Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis under 28
U.S.C. § 1915 because she has sufficient financial resources to pay the filing fee. Within
the time period for an objection, Plaintiff has paid the full $400.00 fee. Thus, the Court
finds that Plaintiff’s application is moot.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 6]
is ADOPTED, and Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying
Fees or Costs [Doc. No. 5] is DENIED. This matter remains under referral to Judge Jones
for further action.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 11th day of September, 2017.
