UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
JASON T. HUNTER,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 8:17-cv-464-T-23AEP

SHAWN JILES, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________________/

ORDER
In an incomprehensible complaint, Jason T. Hunter alleges (Doc. 1) that
Shawn Jiles (an attorney apparently appointed to represent Hunter in a state-court
criminal action), Peter Estrada (the state-court judge who presided in the action), and
a “transcriber” for the Highland County Sheriff violated Hunter’s First, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Tenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendment rights. Also, Hunter appears to
allege “unfair practices in international trade” and violations of “Involuntary
Bankruptcy Law 1842,” “Bankruptcy Rule 3861,” the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the
Lanham Act.
No facts suggest any merit in Hunter’s complaint. In a thorough report,
Magistrate Judge Porcelli recommends (Doc. 10) denying Hunter’s motion (Doc. 2)
to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissing the action as frivolous in accord with
28 U.S.C. § 1915. More than fourteen days after entry of the report and

recommendation, no response appears. The report and recommendation (Doc. 10) is
ADOPTED, Hunter’s motion (Doc. 2) to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED, and
the action is DISMISSED. The clerk is directed to terminate any pending motion
and to close the case.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on June 1, 2017.
