See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); Heath v. Jones, 863 F. 2d 815, 822 (11th Cir. 1989); Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). A district court reviews de novo those portions of the report to which objection is made and 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). To the extent a party fails to object to parts of the magistrate judge's report, the Court may accept the recommendation so long as there is no clear error on the face of the

2. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 10] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE in accordance with the Report.

3. This case is STAYED pending the issuance of the Eleventh Circuit's mandate in 11th Cir. Appeal No. 23-13311-GG. No later than 14 days following issuance of the mandate in that appeal, Plaintiff is directed to file a motion to reopen this case.

4. The Clerk is directed to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this case, without prejudice to the parties. Any scheduled hearings are CANCELED, any pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT, and all deadlines are TERMINATED.
