ORDER
JAMES C. MAHAN, District Judge.
Presently before the court is the case of Flores v. Colvin, (2:14-cv-00806-JCM-GWF). Plaintiff initially filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis indicating a monthly household income of $1,900 and monthly household expenses of $1,750. (Doc. # 1). Upon reviewing this motion, Magistrate Judge Foley issued a report and recommendation stating that the motion should be denied. (Doc. # 2). Plaintiff failed to file any objections, and thus the court adopted the report and recommendation in their entirety. (Doc. # 14).
After the report was issued, plaintiff filed an additional motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. # 3). In this motion, plaintiff again indicated that his household received $1,900 monthly, but this time stated that his monthly household expenses were between $1,880 and $2,130. Id. Based on this information, Magistrate Judge Foley granted plaintiff's second motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. # 4). Therefore, the requirement that plaintiff pay the filing fee in this matter is waived.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that, in light of Magistrate Judge Foley's order granting plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, (doc. # 4), plaintiff shall not be required to pay the full filing fee of four hundred dollars ($400.00) unless he prevails on his claims in this action.
