OPINION and ORDER

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

Magistrate Judge entered on March 25, 2009 (docs. # 8 & 9), that the plaintiff’s motion for

class certification be denied and this case be dismissed without prejudice for the plaintiff’s

failure to pay the full filing fee upon the initiation of this case. After a review of the

recommendations, to which no timely objections have been filed, and after an independent

review of the entire record, the court believes that the recommendations should be adopted.

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:

1. That the Recommendations of the Magistrate Judge be and are hereby

ADOPTED

2. That the plaintiff’s motion to certify a class be and is hereby DENIED.

plaintiff’s failure to pay the requisite filing fee upon the initiation of this case.
