Curtis v. O'Malley

Trial Court Opinion

                  UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT                           
                     DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA                               

 Henry C.,                         Case No. 24-cv-1849 (KMM/TNL)         

               Plaintiff,                                                

 v.                                          ORDER                       

 Martin J. O’Malley, Commissioner of the                                 
 Social Security Administration,                                         

               Defendant.                                                


    This matter is before the Court on a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued 
by Magistrate Judge Tony N. Leung. ECF No. 6. On May 19, 2024, Mr. C. was instructed 
to pay a $405.00 filing fee or to apply for in forma pauperis (“IFP”) status. ECF No. 2. 
Because Mr. C. failed to pay the filing fee or to apply for IFP, on June 18, 2024, Judge 
Leung recommended dismissing Mr. C.’s action without prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 
41(b) for failure to prosecute. Mr. C. has not objected to the R&R, and the time to do so 
has passed. Indeed, Mr. C. has not communicated with the Court in any way since he first 
filed his complaint.                                                      
    The Court reviews de novo any portion of the R&R to which specific objections are 
made. 
28 U.S.C. § 636
(b)(1); D. Minn. LR 72.2(b). In the absence of objections, the Court 
reviews the R&R for clear error. Nur v. Olmsted County, 
563 F. Supp. 3d 946
, 949 (D. 
Minn. 2021) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) and Grinder v. Gammon, 
73 F.3d 793, 795
 (8th 
Cir. 1996) (per curiam)). The Court has conducted that review, and accepts the R&R. 
    IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT this matter is DISMISSED WITHOUT           
PREJUDICE under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to prosecute.
