Opinion of the Court

leave to file a compliant objection within fifteen days of that order. (Id. at 2.) Plaintiff has not filed a compliant objection, and the time to do so has expired.

After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge "may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72. With respect to non-dispositive matters, the district judge "must consider timely objections and modify or set aside any part of the order that is clearly erroneous or is contrary to law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a); see Jordan v. Comm'r, Miss. Dep't of Corr., 947 F. 3d 1322, 1327 (11th Cir. 2020). For dispositive matters, the district judge must conduct a de novo review of any portion of the report and recommendation to which a timely objection is made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); United States v. Farias-Gonzalez, 556 F. 3d 1181, 1184 n.1 (11th Cir. 2009) ("A district court makes a de novo determination of those portions of a magistrate's report to which objections are filed."). Even in the absence of a specific objection, the district judge reviews any legal conclusions de novo. See Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co., 37 F. 3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Ashworth v. Glades Cnty. Bd. of Cnty. Comm'rs, 379 F. Supp. 3d 1244, 1246 (M.D. Fla. 2019).

Upon conducting a careful and complete review of the Magistrate Judge's findings, conclusions, and recommendations, and giving de novo review to matters of law, the court adopts the report and recommendation in full.

Accordingly:

1. Plaintiff's complaint (Dkt. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice.

2. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 2) is DENIED without prejudice.

3. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint and a renewed motion to proceed in forma pauperis on or before January 10, 2025. If Plaintiff renews his motion to proceed in forma pauperis he shall use the Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Long Form).¹

ORDERED in Orlando, Florida, on December 20, 2024.
