OPINION and ORDER

This litigation is now before the court on the recommendation of the United States

Magistrate Judge entered on March 25, 2009 (doc. # 3), that this case be dismissed without

prejudice for the petitioner’s failure to pay the full filing fee upon the initiation of this case.

After a review of the recommendation, to which no timely objections have been filed, and

after an independent review of the entire record, the court believes that the recommendation

should be adopted. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:

1. That the Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge be and is hereby

ADOPTED.

2. That, to the extent Tate seeks mandamus relief, the petition for writ of

mandamus be and is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

3. That this case, with respect to the claims challenging the constitutionality of

Tate’s arrest, be and is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice for his failure

to pay the requisite filing fee upon the initiation of this case as required by the

directives of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

Done this the 16th day of April 2009.
