UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ORLANDO DIVISION
RENEE D. BELL,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 6:17-cv-326-Orl-31KRS

STATE OF FLORIDA,
Defendant.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis
(Doc. 2) and Magistrate Judge Spaulding’s Report recommending that the application be denied
(Doc. 10). Plaintiff filed a pleading which the Court construes to be an objection to Judge
Spaulding’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 15).
Mrs. Bell has been a persistent litigant in this Court for more than a decade, consuming a
great deal of this Court’s time and that of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This, her latest
lawsuit involving her termination by the Florida Highway Patrol, is merely a rehash of the claims
that have been litigated to finality. These claims here are frivolous and otherwise fail to state a
cognizable cause of action. It is time for this nonsense to stop. It is, therefore
ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff’s objection to the Report and Recommendation is OVERRULED;
2. The Report and Recommendation is CONFIRMED and ADOPTED, and made a part
of this Order;
3. Plaintiff’s Application to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED; and

4. Plaintiff’s Complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk is directed to close
this case.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, Orlando, Florida on April 18, 2017.
