KELLY A. ELLIOTT, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.

SENIOR U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE ARTHUR J. TARNOW

U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE ELIZABETH A. STAFFORD

ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [5] AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS [2]

Kelly Elliott seeks judicial review of an adverse Social Security Disability Insurance determination by Defendant. She filed this lawsuit on November 26, 2019. [Dkt. # 1]. That same day, she filed an Application to Proceed without Prepaying Fees or Costs [2]. On December 5, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") [5] that recommended denying that Application. It found that Plaintiff did not meet the statutory qualifications for proceeding in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. No objections to the R&R were filed.

The Court having reviewed the Record, the R&R [5] is ADOPTED, and, except as otherwise noted, entered as the conclusions and findings of the Court. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Application to Proceed without Prepaying Fees or Costs [2] is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
