UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
JAMES WILLIAMS,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 8:18-cv-1125-T-23CPT

RICHARD NUGENT, et al.,
Defendants.
____________________________________/

ORDER
Appearing pro se, James Williams sues (Doc. 1) a former employer and
several government employees. Although difficult to understand, the 43-page
complaint appears to allege several massive conspiracies to discriminate based on
race against Williams and other unidentified African Americans. In a thorough
report and recommendation (Doc. 10), the magistrate judge recommends dismissing
the complaint for frivolity and for failure to state a claim, denying without prejudice
William’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and denying Williams’s
motions to “change venue.” More than fourteen days after the report and
recommendation, Williams submits no objection.
The report and recommendation (Doc. 10) is ADOPTED. The complaint
(Doc. 2) is DISMISSED for failure to state a claim, the motion (Doc. 2) for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, and the motions

(Docs. 3 and 6) to “change venue” are DENIED. No later than AUGUST 31, 2018,
Williams may amend the complaint.* If Williams elects to amend the complaint,
Williams must move again for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The failure to
timely amend the complaint will result in the dismissal of this action without further
notice for failure to prosecute.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on August 2, 2018.

*

If Williams prefers to litigate elsewhere, Williams can voluntarily dismiss this action under
Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and can sue in a different venue.
