MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
This action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Dwane L. Tinsley for submission of proposed findings of fact and recommendations for disposition pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636. On August 12, 2025, Magistrate Judge Tinsley submitted his Proposed Findings & Recommendations [ECF No. 4] (“PF&R”) and recommended that the court DENY Plaintiff’s application to proceed without prepayment of fees and costs as moot, DISMISS this case, and REMOVE this case from the court’s active docket. Neither party timely filed objections to the PF&R nor sought an extension of time. A district court “shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made.”
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). This court is not, however, required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn,
474 U.S. 140, 150(1985). Because the parties have not filed objections in this case, the court adopts and incorporates herein the PF&R and orders judgment consistent therewith. The court DENIES Plaintiff's application to proceed without prepayment of fees and costs as moot, DISMISSES this case, and REMOVES this case from the court’s active docket The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party and REMOVE this case from the court’s docket.
