MICHAEL WAYNE WARREN, TDCJ No. 2247222, Petitioner, v. DIRECTOR, TDCJ-CID, Respondent.
ORDER WITHDRAWING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION AND TERMINATING MOTIONS AS MOOT
DAVID L. HORAN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Petitioner Michael Wayne Warren, a Texas prisoner, is currently incarcerated for his 2019 Johnson County conviction for assault/family violence enhanced by a prior conviction. See Dkt. No. 3 at 2-3. Proceeding pro se, he now seeks habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. See generally Id. And Chief Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn referred Warren's habeas application to the undersigned United States magistrate judge for pretrial management under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and a standing order of reference.
On May 25, 2021, the undersigned recommended that the habeas action be dismissed without prejudice under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 41(b) unless Warren pays the filing fee within a reasonable time [Dkt. No. 14] (the FCR). Because Warren has paid the filing fee, the Court WITHDRAWS the FCR and TERMINATES AS MOOT Warren's motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Dkt. Nos. 4 & 13].
The Court will enter a separate order regarding service of Warren's habeas petition.
SO ORDERED.
