ORDER

*** *** *** ***
This matter is before the Court upon the report and recommendation of Magistrate
Judge Edward B. Atkins. [R. 7.] Houghton originally sought to proceed informa

pauperis in this matter, but his motion was denied and he was ordered to either pay the
filing fee or to file the proper informa pauperis forms before June 26, 2015. [R. 3, 5.]
Houghton was warned that his case would be dismissed ifhe did not comply with that
Order. [R. 5.] Nevertheless, Houghton did not comply. As a result, and in accordance
with the power delegated to him in 18 U.S.C. § 636(b), the Magistrate Judge recommends
that the case be dismissed. [R. 7.] Houghton was given 14 days to object to that
recommendation. [Id.] The Court has received no objection.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's
recommendation is ADOPTED. [R. 7.] The present action is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE for failure to prosecute and STRICKEN from the docket.
