ORDER

Before the Court is Plaintiff's “Motion for Reduction of Filing Costs.” (Doc. no. 5.)

(Doc. no. 3.)

(See id. at 9.) Because Plaintiff opted not to proceed in forma pauperis when given the opportunity and “[t]he Court is not aware of any precedent which would support granting this request,” Murray-Bey v.
