HERMAN BURTON, Plaintiff, v. DEPUTY ERIC ARMEL and LT, CRAYTON, Defendants.
District Judge Mark R. Hornak
Chief Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan
MEMORANDUM ORDER
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of Chief Magistrate Judge Lenihan who has recommended that this action be dismissed for Plaintiff's failure to follow the Court's Order dated September 17, 2013, requiring him to pay an initial partial filing fee of $37.00, In her Report, she notes that Plaintiff has also failed to respond to the Court's Order dated November 5, 2013, to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for his failure to pay the required fee. Plaintiff was served with the Report and Recommendation and informed that he had until December 20, 2013, to file written objections. As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has neither filed objections nor paid any portion of the filing fee. In fact, the Court has not received any correspondence from Plaintiff since September 5, 2013, when he submitted his prisoner trust fund account statement shortly after initiating this action. It appears as though Plaintiff has no interest in pursuing this matter any further. Therefore, after de novo review of the pleadings and documents in the case, together with the Report and Recommendation, the following order is entered.
AND NOW, this 23RD day of December, 2013,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 8) is ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court mark this case CLOSED.
