ORDER
On January 26, 2026, the undersigned recommended that the Court deny
Petitioner William Bearden’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and dismiss
this action without prejudice for failure to prosecute or follow orders of the Court, as
provided by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), because Bearden failed to comply
with the Court’s order to pay the $5.00 filing fee. (See Dkt. No. 11.) Bearden’s
objections to the recommendation were received on February 9, 2026. (See Dkt. No.
12.) Because the objections indicate that Bearden is attempting to comply with the
Court’s order to pay the $5.00 filing fee and to prosecute his lawsuit, the undersigned
WITHDRAWS the recommendation dated January 26, 2026 (Dkt. No. 11).
SO ORDERED on February 12, 2026.
