UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Samit Mao, Case No. 25-cv-00870 (ECT/ECW) Plaintiff, v. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Speedway Gas Station, Gaurdem Security Group, and Devontie Qualls, Defendants.

On March 26, 2025, this Court ordered Plaintiff Samit Mao to pay an initial partial filing fee of $22.65 within 21 days—that is, by April 16, 2025. (See Dkt. 4 at 3.) The Order warned that failure to do so could lead to dismissal without prejudice for failure to prosecute. (Id.) Mao has not paid the fee or otherwise communicated with the Court since filing this case. The Court therefore 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, 267 F. App’x 496, 497 (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.”) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b)).

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.

Dated: April 24, 2025 s/Elizabeth Cowan Wright ELIZABETH COWAN WRIGHT United States Magistrate Judge NOTICE Filing Objections: This Report and Recommendation is not an order or judgment of the District Court and is therefore not appealable directly to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
