Petitioner,
v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:26-CV-00066
ERIC GUERRERO,
Respondent.
ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM & RECOMMENDATION
Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton’s Memorandum and
Recommendation (“M&R”). (D.E. 9). The M&R recommends that the Court deny Petitioner’s
application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and order Petitioner to pay the $5.00 filing fee
within thirty (30) days.
The parties were provided proper notice of, and the opportunity to object to, the Magistrate
Judge’s M&R. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); General Order No. 2002-13. No
objection has been filed. When no timely objection has been filed, the district court need only
determine whether the Magistrate Judge’s M&R is clearly erroneous or contrary to law. United
States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (5th Cir. 1989) (per curiam); Powell v. Litton Loan
Servicing, L.P., No. 4:14-CV-02700, 2015 WL 3823141, at *1 (S.D. Tex. June 18, 2015) (Harmon,
J.) (citation omitted).
Having reviewed the proposed findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge, the filings
of the parties, the record, and the applicable law, and finding that the M&R is not clearly erroneous
or contrary to law, the Court ADOPTS the M&R in its entirety. (D.E. 9). Accordingly, the Court
DENIES Petitioner’s application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, (D.E. 7), and ORDERS
