UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Case No. 16-cv-22764-GAYLES/WHITE
WALTER LEE WRIGHT,
Plaintiff,
v.
CRISTINA MIRANDA; MAUREEN
TULLOCH; and JOHN/JANE DOE,
Clerk of Court, Eleventh Judicial Circuit,
Defendants.

ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING REPORT OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Patrick A. White’s Report of
Magistrate Judge (the “Report”) [ECF No. 8], entered on August 16, 2016. Plaintiff Walter Lee
Wright, proceeding pro se, filed a Complaint in this Court against Defendants Cristina Miranda,
Circuit Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, who presided over
the Plaintiff’s criminal proceedings in the Circuit Court; Maureen Tulloch, Deputy Clerk of the
Eleventh Judicial Circuit; and the Clerk of Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit [ECF No. 1].
The matter was referred to Judge White, pursuant to Administrative Order 2003-19 of this Court,
for a ruling on all pretrial, nondispositive matters, and for a Report and Recommendation on any
dispositive matters. [ECF No. 3]. Judge White’s Report recommends that the Complaint be dismissed, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), for failure to state a claim upon which relief
can be granted. The Plaintiff timely filed objections to the Report [ECF No. 11] (“Objections”).
A district court may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Those portions of the report and recommendation to which objection is made are accorded de novo review, if those objections “pinpoint the specific findings that
the party disagrees with.” United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1360 (11th Cir. 2009); see also
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). The Court has undertaken a de novo review of the Report, the Objections,
and the record in this case and agrees with the well-reasoned analysis and recommendations contained in the Report. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Report of Magistrate Judge [ECF No. 8] is
AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED and incorporated into this Order by reference.
The Plaintiff’s Complaint [ECF No. 1] is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
This case is CLOSED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 12th day of October, 2016.
