JUDGE STEVENS CHUA et al.  
 
ORDER 
 
The Court referred Petitioner’s Motion to Proceed  in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) 
to Magistrate Judge Christopher dos Santos  (Dkt. No.  5). In his  report and 
recommendation, Judge dos Santos recommends Petitioner’s letter motion and 
subsequent IFP application be denied as moot since Petitioner has remitted the filing 
fee (see Dkt. No. 12 at 2). 
Having reviewed the Report and finding no plain error, the Court hereby 
ADOPTS the Report (Dkt. No. 12) as the findings and conclusions of the Court. 
Accordingly, Petitioner’s motions to proceed IFP (Dkt. Nos. 2, 10) are DENIED AS 
MOOT.  
It is so ORDERED. 
SIGNED April 9, 2026.
