ORDER
This is a habeas corpus action brought by Petitioner Chris Elroy Loveless under 28
U.S.C. § 2241. [Doc. No. 1]. Currently before the Court are the Report and
Recommendation [Doc. No. 6] and Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis [Doc. No. 2].
The Report and Recommendation finds that Petitioner has sufficient financial
resources to pay the full habeas filing fee of $5.00 and recommends that the Court deny
Petitioner’s motion and order Petitioner to pay the filing fee for this action to proceed.
[Doc. No. 6 at 2]. Although Judge Maxfield advised Petitioner of his right to object by
June 26, 2025, Petitioner did not file an objection to the Report and Recommendation.
Instead, the record reflects that Petitioner paid the filing fee of $5.00 on June 10, 2025.
See [Doc. No. 7].
Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 6]
and DENIES Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 2].
Because Petitioner has now paid the full filing fee, the Court REFERS this habeas action

to Judge Maxfield for further proceedings consistent with the Court’s prior referral. See
[Doc. No. 5].
IT IS SO ORDERED this 30th day of June 2025.
