Case No. CIV-21-231-G

ORDER
This matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation issued
by United States Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin on March 29, 2021. Judge Erwin
recommends that Plaintiff’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis be denied
because Plaintiff has sufficient funds to pay the $402.00 filing fee. Within the time period
for a written objection, Plaintiff has paid the required $402.00 fee. See Doc. No. 6.
Accordingly, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is
moot.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 5)
is ADOPTED, and Plaintiff’s application (Doc. No. 2) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is re-referred to Judge Erwin for
further proceedings consistent with the initial case referral.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 27th day of April, 2021.
