IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE DIVISION

CRYSTAL LEANNE KOCSIS,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 4:16cv529-RH/CAS

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY
BOARD OF TRUSTEES et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING THE CLAIMS AGAINST
INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANTS AND OTHERWISE
DENYING THE MOTIONS TO DISMISS
The defendants have filed two motions to dismiss. The first motion is before
the court on the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, ECF No. 27. No
objections have been filed. The second motion is largely duplicative of the first.
The report and recommendation correctly analyzes the first motion to
dismiss. The same analysis applies to the corresponding parts of the second
motion. Upon consideration,
IT IS ORDERED:

Case No. 4:16cv529-RH/CAS
