OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on consideration of the
Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. #9), filed
October 4, 2017, recommending that the action be dismissed without
prejudice.

No objections have been filed 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

- 2 -

the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
636(b)(1);

28 U.S.C. §

Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982),

cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1112 (1983).

In the absence of specific

objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review
factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9
(11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject or modify, in
whole or in part, the findings and recommendations.
636(b)(1).

28 U.S.C. §

The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo,

even in the absence of an objection.

See Cooper-Houston v.

Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Castro
Bobadilla v. Reno, 826 F. Supp. 1428, 1431-32 (S.D. Fla. 1993),
aff’d, 28 F.3d 116 (11th Cir. 1994) (Table).
After repeatedly failing to respond to the Magistrate Judge’s
Orders, it is recommended that the case be dismissed.

After

conducting an independent examination of the file and upon due
consideration of the Report and Recommendation, the Court accepts
the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1.

The

Report

and

Recommendation

(Doc.

#9)

is

hereby

adopted and the findings incorporated herein.
2.

Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1) is DISMISSED without

prejudice for failure to prosecute.

3.

The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly, terminate

all pending motions and deadlines, and close the file.
DONE and ORDERED at Fort Myers, Florida, this
of October, 2017.
