MARIA SANCHEZ,
Plaintiff,

Case No: 6:14-cv-1993-Orl-41KRS

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.
/
ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (“R&R,” Doc. 6),
recommending that this case be dismissed without prejudice. No objections have been filed, and
the time to do so has lapsed.
As explained in the R&R, Plaintiff is attempting to proceed pro se on behalf of her minor
child, which is not permitted in this Circuit. (R&R at 1–2). Plaintiff was previously informed of
this fact and was ordered to obtain counsel for the minor child on or before January 5, 2015. (Id.).
As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has not only failed to obtain counsel, she has acted in direct
contradiction of the previous Order by continuing to file documents on behalf of the minor child.
(See Notice of Pendency of Other Actions, Doc. 7, filed on February 10, 2015).
Therefore, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and
made part of this Order.
2. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
3. The Clerk is directed to close this case.
