UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

LETIMEGO WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v. CASE NO. 8:22-cv-197-WFJ-SPF

KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, _______________________________/

ORDER This cause comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 2) and the complaint (Dkt. 1). The magistrate judge issued a report recommending in forma pauperis status be denied and the case be dismissed as untimely. Dkt. 4. The time for filing objections has passed. The Court reviews the legal conclusions de novo in the absence of an objection. See LeCroy v. McNeil,

, 556 (11th Cir. 2010) (citation omitted); Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co.,

(11th Cir. 1994). The magistrate judge found that although indigent, Plaintiff failed to supplement her complaint by filing either the final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration or the notice from the appeals board denying her appeal. See Dkt. 3 (Order directing supplementation). Without same, Plaintiff has not shown her complaint was timely filed within 60 days after the Commissioner’s decision became final. The Court agrees that Plaintiff’s case is untimely based on the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, and in conjunction with

an independent examination of the file. Accordingly, the Court rules as follows: 1. The Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 4) is adopted, confirmed, and approved in all respects and made a part of this order.

2. Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 2) is denied. 3. This case is dismissed. 4. The Clerk is directed to close the case. DONE AND ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on March 15, 2022.
