ORDER

RICHARD E. MYERS, II, District Judge.

This matter is before the undersigned on the Memorandum and Recommendation ("M&R") of United States Magistrate Kimberly A. Swank [DE-4], denying Plaintiff's application, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, to proceed in forma pauperis [DE-1]. Plaintiff has filed no objections to the M&R, and the time for doing so has expired.

"The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to make a de novo determination of those portions of the magistrate judge's report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is made." Diamond v. Colonial Life & Acc. Ins. Co., 416 F.3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005) (emphasis, alteration, and quotation omitted); see 28 U.S.C. 636(b). Absent timely objection, "a district court need not conduct a de novo review, but instead must only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation." Diamond, 416 F.3d at 315 (citation and quotation omitted).

The Court has reviewed the M&R and the record and is satisfied there is no clear error on the face of the record. Plaintiff indicated that she has no dependents and that her spouse has an annual income of $54,000.000, which exceeds their total annual expenses. [DE-1]; see Schade v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 4:18-CV-96-BO, 2018 WL 4576774, at *1 (E.D.N.C. May 29, 2018), adopted by, 2018 WL 4567721 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 16, 2018) (although plaintiff was unemployed, "she is able to pay the filing fee" where spouse had "an annual income of $51,456.000").

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the recommendation of Magistrate Judge Swank. [DE-4.] Plaintiff is DIRECTED to remit the filing fee to the Clerk by March 23, 2020.

SO ORDERED.
