ORDER
Petitioner, a state prisoner appearing pro se, filed a petition for writ of habeas relief under
28 U.S.C. § 2254 [Doc. No. 1] and a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 11].
The matter was referred for initial proceedings to United States Magistrate Judge Suzanne Mitchell
consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), (C). Judge Mitchell finds that Petitioner has sufficient
funds to pay the $5.00 filing fee and recommends that his motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis be denied. [Doc. No. 12]. Petitioner did not object by the December 10, 2025 deadline,
thus waiving de novo review. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 12],
DENIES Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 11], and ORDERS
Petitioner to pay the $5.00 filing fee in full within twenty-one days, or no later than January 8,
2026. Petitioner is advised that if he does not pay the full $5.00 filing fee on or before that date,
this action will be dismissed without prejudice.
