TYRONE MARCEL MORGAN, Plaintiff, v. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Mark E. Walker Chief United States District Judge
This Court has considered, without hearing, the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 7, and has also reviewed de novo Plaintiff's objections, ECF No. 8. The Magistrate Judge recommends that this Court dismiss Plaintiff's claims for failure to prosecute and failure to obey court orders given Plaintiff's unresponsiveness to the Magistrate Judge's deadlines to either pay the filing fee or file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff objects to the Report and Recommendation, noting that, in his attempt to comply with the Magistrate Judge's order to file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, he has requested a “bank statement” from the Department of Corrections that has not yet been provided to him. Plaintiff asks for additional time to file his motion. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:
The report and recommendation, ECF No. 7, is rejected. Plaintiff's request for extension is GRANTED. Plaintiff must either pay the filing fee or file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on or before Monday, October 24, 2022. This matter is referred to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
SO ORDERED on September 12, 2022.
