UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS No. 6:23-cv-00188 Jay Williams, Petitioner, V. Job Mongare, Respondent.

ORDER Petitioner Jay Williams, an inmate proceeding pro se, filed a pe- tition for writ of habeas corpus without paying the filing fee or mov- ing to proceed in forma pauperis. The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell pursuant to

(b). On June 15, 2023, the magistrate judge issued a report recom- mending that the plaintiff be denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis and this case be dismissed without prejudice due to the petitioner’s failure to prosecute and to comply with the court’s orders. Doc. 18. Specifically, the petitioner failed to either pay the fee or file a properly supported motion to proceed as a pauper or to amend his complaint as ordered. Docs 3, 18. A copy of the report was mailed to the petitioner, who did not file written objections. When no party objects to the magistrate judge’s report and rec- ommendation, the court reviews it only for clear error. See Douglass vy. United Servs. Auto. Ass’n,

(Sth Cir. 1996). Hav- ing reviewed the magistrate judge’s report, and being satisfied that it contains no clear error, the court accepts its findings and recommen- dation. The petitioner is denied leave to proceed i forma pauperis, and this case is dismissed without prejudice.

So ordered by the court on August 10, 2023.
