ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

This Social Security Disability Insurance benefits case was referred to Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris for determination of all non-dispositive motions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and issuance of a Report and Recommendation of dispositive matters pursuant to U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C).

In a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") issued on October 14, 2020, the magistrate judge recommends that the Court deny Plaintiff's motion seeking to proceed in forma pauperis in this action. (ECF No. 4).

While Plaintiff has not withdrawn his application to proceed in forma pauperis, Plaintiff paid the filing fee in this case on October 14, 2020. Moreover, Plaintiff did not file objections to the R&R within the time permitted for doing so.

The Court ADOPTS the R&R and DENIES Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
