TERESA STEVENSON, Plaintiff, v. CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
Elizabeth A. Stafford United States Magistrate Judge ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF NO. 5) AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS (ECF NO. 2)
On November 29, 2016, Plaintiff filed her Complaint and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) On December 7, 2016, Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford issued a Report and Recommendation to deny Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, finding that Plaintiff's financial condition was not sufficiently constrained that Plaintiff was unable to pay the filing fee for her case. (ECF No. 5, Report and Recommendation.) There have been no timely objections to the Report and Recommendation filed under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and E.D. Mich L.R. 72.1(d), and indeed Plaintiff paid the filing fee on December 27, 2016.
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation and DENIES Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. IT IS SO ORDERED.
