____________________________________/
ORDER
A July 20, 2018 order (Doc. 2) requires Dodd to amend the complaint to
include a “short and plain” statement of the alleged “employment discrimination.”
Dodd amends (Doc. 4) the complaint and moves (Doc. 5) for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis. Concluding that the amended complaint fails to remedy the
deficiencies identified by the July 20, 2018 order and fails to state a cognizable claim,
a September 9, 2018 report (Doc. 6) recommends denying Dodd’s motion to proceed
in forma pauperis, dismissing the amended complaint, and closing the case. More than
seventeen days has passed,* and Dodd maintains silence in response to Magistrate
Judge Wilson’s well-reasoned report. The report and recommendation (Doc. 6) is
*
A party served by mail with a report and recommendation has three additional days to
object. See Rule 6(d), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
ADOPTED and the amended complaint (Doc. 5) is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE. The clerk is directed to terminate any pending motion and to close
the case.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on October 15, 2018.
