REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Accordingly, this Court RECOMMENDS that the District Court dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint without prejudice.

A party shall serve and file written objections, if any, to this Report and Recommendation with the assigned District Judge, within FOURTEEN (14) DAYS of being served with a copy of this Report and Recommendation.

R. 3-1 (2016).
DONE and SUBMITTED in Chambers at West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, in the Southern District of Florida, this 15th day of July 2025.
