ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge made findings, conclusions, and a
recommendation in this case. In response, the petitioner filed a motion for an
extension of time to pay the requisite filing fee (docket entry 7). To the extent that
the petitioner objects to the findings, conclusions, and recommendation, the District
Court reviewed de novo those portions of the proposed findings, conclusions, and
recommendation to which objection was made, and reviewed the remainder for plain
error. Finding no error, the court ACCEPTS the Findings, Conclusions, and
Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge. The court therefore
DENIES Petitioner Stephen Arista leave to proceed in forma pauperis and ORDERS
that he pay the $5.00 filing fee within 21 days of this order. If he does not, the court

will dismiss this action without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b)
without further notice.
The petitioner’s motion for an extension of time to pay the filing fee (docket
entry 7) is DENIED as moot.
SO ORDERED.
January 3, 2025.
