CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:25-CV-302
EMILIA ESTEFANIA SMITH RANERO,
Defendant.
ORDER
Plaintiff Alejandro Tristan Zamores alleges claims under the International Child
Abduction Remedies Act, 22 U.S.C. § 9001, et seq. (Compl., Doc. 1) He sought to proceed in forma
pauperis, but a United States Magistrate Judge denied Zamores’s IFP application and ordered
him to pay the requisite filing fee. (Order, Doc. 8) Zamores failed to do so.
In January 2025, the Magistrate Judge ordered Zamores to appear for a hearing and
indicate why the Complaint should not be dismissed based on the failure to pay the filing fee.
(Order, Doc. 16) The Magistrate Judge warned Zamores that failure to appear would likely result
in dismissal of his case. Zamores failed to appear at the hearing. (R&R, Doc. 25, 2)
On April 2, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending
that the Court dismiss without prejudice Zamores’s Complaint for failure to prosecute the case.
(R&R, Doc. 25) No party objected to the Report and Recommendation.
“When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear
error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b),
Advisory Comm. Note (1983). The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation and finds
no clear error within it.
As a result, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 25). It is:
