ORDER
Before the court is Margaret Sue Cantrell’s (“Plaintiff”) Application to Proceed In Forma
Pauperis (Doc. 5), filed October 28, 2013. The case was referred to Magistrate Judge Irma C.
Ramirez, who entered Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate
Judge (“Report”), on November 15, 2013, recommending that the court deny Plaintiff’s application
and dismiss Plaintiff’s case without prejudice for failure to prosecute or follow court orders. No
objections to this report were filed.
On October 28, 2013, Plaintiff filed this action and submitted her application to proceed in
forma pauperis. On the same day, the magistrate judge ordered Plaintiff to pay the $400 filing fee.
If Plaintiff did not pay the fee within fourteen days, the magistrate judge stated that she would
recommend that leave to proceed in forma pauperis be denied and that the case be dismissed.
Plaintiff has not paid the fee or filed any additional documents in this case.
Having reviewed the pleadings, file, and record in this case, and the findings and conclusions
of the magistrate judge, the court accepts the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions.
Accordingly, the court denies Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismisses
