OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state

inmate, filed this lawsuit asserting that the 

defendants confiscated his vehicle without a warrant 

and forced him to pay hundreds of dollars to get it 

back. This lawsuit is now before the court on the 

recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge 

that plaintiff’s case be dismissed for failure to pay 

the initial filing fee. There are no objections to the 

recommendation. After an independent and de novo 

review of the record, the court concludes that the 

magistrate judge’s recommendation should be adopted.
