UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

Plaintiff,
-vs-

Case No. 3:15-cv-1215-J-34JBT

MARKET TRADERS INSTITUTE, INC.,
et al.,
Defendants.
__________________________________/

ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 62;
Report), entered by the Honorable Joel B. Toomey, United States Magistrate Judge, on
November 22, 2016. In the Report, Magistrate Judge Toomey recommends that this case
be transferred to the Orlando Division of the Middle District of Florida. See Report at 2, 7.
The parties have 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 fact 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. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.

The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 62) is

ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.
2.

The Clerk of the Court is directed to transfer this case to the United States

District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division for all further proceeds and
close this file.
DONE AND ORDERED at Jacksonville, Florida, this 15th day of December, 2016.
