   On May 15, 2024, this Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff Stephan Nicholas 
Holmes to submit an initial partial filing fee of $12.00.  (See ECF No. 3 at 2–3.)  The Order 
gave Mr. Holmes until August 27, 2024, to pay this fee, failing which the Court would 
recommend dismissing this action without prejudice for failure to prosecute.  (See id.)  
Mr. Holmes has not submitted the required fee; indeed, he has not communicated with the 
Court  at  all  since  filing  this  action.    (See  Docket.)    Accordingly,  this  Court  now 
recommends  dismissing  this  action  without  prejudice  under  Federal  Rule  of  Civil 
Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute.  See, e.g., Henderson v. Renaissance Grand Hotel, 

 (8th Cir. 2008) (per curiam) (“A district court has discretion to 
dismiss an action under Rule 41(b) for a plaintiff’s failure to prosecute, or to comply with 
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or any court order.”).               
                     RECOMMENDATION                                     
   Based upon the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein, 
IT IS RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE         

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute.
