UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
GEORGE FREEMAN, JR.,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 8:15-cv-1622-T-23EAJ

LAKE WALES POLICE
DEPARTMENT, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________________/

ORDER
Claiming constitutional violations, the pro se plaintiff sues (Docs. 1, 7) the City
of Lake Wales, Florida, and four employees of the Lake Wales police department
because of an interrogation during which an officer yelled at the plaintiff and told the
plaintiff “to get out of the . . . police department now.” A September 2, 2015 report
(Doc. 8) correctly recommends denying the plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 2) to proceed in
forma pauperis and dismissing the complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (“[T]he
court shall dismiss [an action] at any time if the court determines that [the action] . . .
is frivolous or malicious; fails to state a claim . . . ; or seeks monetary relief against a
defendant who is immune from such relief.”). The September 2, 2015 report (Doc. 8)

is ADOPTED, the motion (Doc. 2) is DENIED, and this action is DISMISSED.
The clerk is directed to close the case.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on October 13, 2015.
