RULING AND ORDER
Before the Court is the United States Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 8) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The Report and Recommendation addresses Plaintiff Terrance Napoleon Sr.'s failure to pay the initial partial filing fee of $10.00 and failure to show cause as to why his Complaint (Doc. 1) should not be dismissed. The Magistrate Judge recommends that the proceeding be dismissed without prejudice, for failure to pay the initial partial filing fee. (Id.).

Neither party filed a response.
Having carefully considered the underlying Complaint, the instant motions, and related filings, the Court approves the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, and hereby adopts its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation.
IT IS ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 8) is Adopted as the Court's opinion herein.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
