The magistrate judge recommended denying leave to proceed without prepayment and alternatively dismissing the complaint. The district judge adopted the alternative recommendation and dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, while denying the fee motion as moot. Because the final treatment of the motion differed from the recommendation, this R&R is retained as context and excluded from the motion statistics.
