was forced to shave his beard in March 2019, see ECF No. 3 at 1, or any change in circumstances concerning his understanding of his faith and his beliefs concerning growing his beard, and the filing of his most recent motion. As this Court previously recognized, ECF No. 78 at 1, asserting an evolving religious understanding of one's faith could help explain such a delay so as not to undercut a claim of irreparable harm. See Powers v. Sec'y, Fla. Dep't of Corrs., 691 F. App'x 581, 583–84 (11th Cir. 2017). But here, Plaintiff has provided no such explanation with respect to

IT IS ORDERED:
The report and recommendation, ECF No. 108, is accepted and adopted as this Court's opinion. Plaintiff's second motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, ECF No. 100, is DENIED. This case is remanded to the Magistrate Judge for further proceedings.
SO ORDERED on June 9, 2025.
