UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI DIVISION ALFREDO SALINAS, Petitioner, VS. FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS, et al, Respondents. § § § § § § § §

CIVIL ACTION NO. C-10-31

ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION TO DENY PETITIONER'S MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS On February 11, 2010, United States Magistrate Judge Brian L. Owsley signed a Memorandum and Recommendation recommending that petitioner be found not indigent and that his application to proceed in forma pauperis (D.E. 7) be denied. The Memorandum and Recommendation further recommended that petitioner be instructed to pay the filing fee within twenty (20) days of the date of entry of any order adopting the memorandum and recommendation, or voluntarily dismiss the petition. Finally, the Memorandum and Recommendation recommended that petitioner be advised that failure to pay the filing fee within the time period proscribed may result in dismissal of his petition for failure to prosecute. Seeing no objection to this recommendation by either party, having now reviewed the recommendation, and noting further that petitioner paid the $5.00 filing fee on February 23, 2010, this Court hereby adopts as its own the Memorandum and Recommendation as the decision of the Court. Accordingly, the Court finds that petitioner is not indigent and it is therefore ORDERED that petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED.
