REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
SUZANNE MITCHELL, MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Doc. 6.United States District Judge David L. Russell referred has referred this matter to the undersigned Magistrate Judge for initial proceedings consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), (C). Doc. 4. Having reviewed his application, the undersigned finds Plaintiff has sufficient funds to prepay the $402.00 filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Specifically, Plaintiff has $612.19 in his two institutional accounts, combined. Doc. 6, at 3-4 & Atts. 1-2. Because Plaintiff has not shown that he is entitled to authorization by this Court to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), the undersigned recommends that Plaintiff's application be denied.

The undersigned advises Plaintiff that he may file an objection to this Report and Recommendation with the Clerk of Court by March 3, 2023. The undersigned further advises Plaintiff that failure to timely object to this Report and Recommendation waives the right to appellate review of both factual and legal issues contained herein.

This Report and Recommendation disposes of all issues and terminates the referral to the undersigned Magistrate Judge in the captioned matter.
