ORDER
Petitioner filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [Doc. No. 1] and an application for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 2]. 	The matter was referred to United States
Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin who entered a Report and Recommendation recommending the
Court deny Petitioner’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and require Petitioner to pay the
full $5 filing fee. 	[Doc. No. 6]. 	Petitioner was advised of his right to object to the Report and
Recommendation by September 15, 2025. While Petitioner has not filed an objection to the Report
and Recommendation, Petitioner has filed a number of motions, advising the Court that he has
filed a request for disbursement to the Department of Corrections, requesting a $5 disbursement to
pay the filing fee in this case and that it has not been paid.
Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation and Petitioner’s filings, the Court
ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 6], DENIES Petitioner’s application for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 2], and ORDERS Petitioner to pay the $5 filing fee
