UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

JACKSONVILLE DIVISION
PAMELA DUNKEL,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No.: 3:15-cv-949-J-34PDB
DAWN HAMILTON,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 49;
Report), entered by the Honorable Patricia D. Barksdale, United States Magistrate Judge,
on August 8, 2016. In the Report, Magistrate Judge Barksdale recommends that Defendant’s
Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 27) be granted, all claims be dismissed,
and the Clerk be directed to enter judgment and close the file. See Report at 27. Plaintiff
has failed to file objections to the Report, and the time for doing so has now passed.
The Court “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). If no specific
objections to findings of facts are filed, the district court is not required to conduct a de novo
review of those findings. See Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993); see
also 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). However, the district court must review legal conclusions de
novo. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); United
States v. Rice, No. 2:07-mc-8-FtM-29SPC, 2007 WL 1428615, at * 1 (M.D. Fla. May 14,
2007).
Upon independent review of the file and for the reasons stated in the Magistrate
Judge’s Report, the Court will accept and adopt the legal and factual conclusions
recommended by the Magistrate Judge.1 Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.
The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 49) is
ADOPTED.
2.
Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 27) is
GRANTED.
3.
This case is DISMISSED.
4.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment dismissing the case,
terminate any pending motions or deadlines as moot, and close the file.
DONE AND ORDERED at Jacksonville, Florida, this 12th day of September, 2016.
