UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PANAMA CITY DIVISION
JAMES R. SEAY,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No.5:17cv268-TKW-EMT

JULIE JONES, et al.,
Defendant.
/
ORDER
This case is before the Court based upon the magistrate judge’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 14). No objections to the Report and Recommendation
were filed.1 Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation and the case file, I
agree with the magistrate judge’s determination that this case should be dismissed
based on Plaintiff’s failure to comply with court orders. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that:
1.

The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and
incorporated by reference in this Order.

1

The Report and Recommendation was returned as undeliverable with a notation that
Plaintiff was released on October 30, 2019. See Doc. 15. The orders with which Plaintiff did not
comply predated his release, and because none of those orders were returned, Plaintiff’s release
does not excuse his failure to comply with those orders. Moreover, Plaintiff’s failure to keep the
Court apprised of his address upon release amounts to an abandonment of this case and provides
another reason for dismissal.

2.

This case is DISMISSED and the Clerk shall close the file.

3.

The Clerk shall send a copy of this Order to the post-release address
shown for Plaintiff on the Department of Corrections’ website: 40
Sterling Brown Street, Apopka, FL 33476.

DONE and ORDERED this 3rd day of January, 2020.
