BRANDON ALEXANDER FAVOR, Plaintiff, v. MARION JUNE KNIGHT, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS (DOC. NOS. 2, 3)
Plaintiff Brandon Alexander Favor is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On November 9, 2021, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, recommending that plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and that plaintiff be required to pay the $402.00 filing fee in full to proceed with this action. (Doc. No. 3.) Specifically, the magistrate judge found that plaintiff has accrued three or more prior dismissals that count as strikes under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and that his current allegations do not satisfy the imminent danger exception to § 1915(g). (Id. at 2-4.) Plaintiff has also reported significant income. (Id. at 2.) The findings and recommendations were served on plaintiff and contained notice that objections thereto were to be filed within fourteen (14) days after service. (Id. at 4.) Plaintiff timely filed objections to the findings and recommendations on November 29, 2021. (Doc. No. 4.) Those objections do not appear to address the magistrate judge's reasoning or conclusions set forth in the pending findings and recommendations. (See id.)
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), this court has conducted a de novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including plaintiffs objections, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and proper analysis.
Accordingly, 1. The findings and recommendations issued on November 9, 2021 (Doc. No. 3) are adopted in full;
2. Plaintiff s application to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2) is denied;
3. Within twenty-one (21) days from the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall pay the required filing fee of $402.00 in full to proceed with this action; and
4. Failure to pay the filing fee within the allotted time will result in dismissal of this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
