This matter is before the Court for consideration of a Report and Recommendation filed by the
Honorable Brian A. Tsuchida, United States Magistrate Judge. Dkt. # 5. Judge Tsuchida recommends
dismissal of the action for failure to pay the filing fee or present an application to proceed in forma
pauperis (“IFP”). The Court shall approve and adopt the Report and Recommendation, but writes to
address a “motion to freeze deadlines” entered on the docket on September 30, 2011. Dkt. # 6.
Plaintiff contends that he is being denied access to “legal materials” such as a printer and certain file
management options on the computer. Id. However, he has failed to demonstrate how either situation
impairs his ability to pay the filing fee or file an IFP petition as he was directed by the Clerk on August
15, 2011. Dkt. # 2. The motion to freeze (Dkt. # 6) is accordingly DENIED.
The Court, now having considered the Report and Recommendation and the balance of the
record, does hereby find and ORDER:
(1) The Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED;
