ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation by Magistrate Judge Karen L. Strombom. The Court has considered Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 3), the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 8), and the remaining record. Plaintiff has not filed objections to the Report and Recommendation.
Petitioner is a Washington state inmate at the Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen, Washington. Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus and the associated $5.00 filing fee on July 21, 2010. Dkt 1. Petitioner referenced the payment of this filing fee in a Motion for Appointment of Counsel (Dkt. 2) filed on the same day as his petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. 1) and a Motion for Leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt 3). As Petitioner has paid the required filing fee for his petition for writ of habeas corpus, the Court should deny his application to proceed in forma pauperis as moot.
The Court, having reviewed the Report and Recommendation, Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis, and the remaining record, hereby finds and ORDERS:
(1) the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Dkt. 8) is approved and adopted;
(2) Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 3) is DENIED; and
(3) The Clerk is directed to send copies of this Order to Petitioner.
