ORDER ADOPTING MEMORANDUM AND RECOMMENDATION
TO DENY APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis
(D.E. 14). On February 27, 2026, United States Magistrate Judge Julie K. Hampton issued
a Memorandum and Recommendation (D.E. 15), recommending that Plaintiff’s application
be denied. Plaintiff was provided proper notice of, and opportunity to object to, the
Magistrate Judge’s memorandum and recommendation. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1); General Order No. 2002-13. No objections have been timely filed.
When no timely objection to a magistrate judge’s memorandum and
recommendation is filed, the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error
on the face of the record and accept the magistrate judge’s memorandum and
recommendation. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc., 434 F.3d 303, 308 (5th Cir. 2005) (citing
