JUDGE MICHAEL TRUNCALE
ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
On January 20, 2026, the Court referred this case to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United
States Magistrate Judge for pretrial management. On January 29, 2026, Judge Hawthorn ordered
pro se Plaintiff William Haley (“Haley”) to pay the filing fee or file a Motion for Leave to Proceed
in forma pauperis. Dkt. 3. After Haley failed to comply with the Order [Dkt. 3], Judge Hawthorn
issued a Report and Recommendation [Dkt. 4], which recommended dismissing Haley’s case for
want of prosecution.
The court reviewed Judge Hawthorn’s Report and Recommendation [Dkt. 4] along with
the record, pleadings, and all available evidence. The court affirms Judge Hawthorn’s findings of
fact and conclusions of law are correct. The parties have not filed objections to the Report and
Recommendation, and the time for doing so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).

It is therefore ORDERED that Judge Hawthorn’s Report and Recommendation [Dkt. 4]
dismissing this case without prejudice for want of prosecution is ADOPTED. The court will
separately enter Final Judgment.
