UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No.: 20-cv-61527-SINGHAL/Reid TAVON STONE, Plaintiff, v. HALLANDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT et al., Defendants. _______________________________________/ ORDER THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on United States Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (DE [11]), filed on October 5, 2020. Therein, Magistrate Judge Reid sua sponte considered Plaintiff’s Complaint (DE [1]) and recommends this case be DISMISSED. Parties have fourteen days to file any objections to a magistrate judge’s factual

findings. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); S.D. Fla. Mag. R. 4(b). Here, neither side filed any such objections. Therefore, the Court’s review of the R&R is properly limited to a de novo review of only its legal conclusions. See Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London v. PharmaTech, LLC,

, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 19, 2019) (“Legal conclusions are reviewed de novo, even in the absence of an objection.”). The Court has reviewed the R&R, the entire file, and the record. In so doing, the Court has concluded a de novo review of Magistrate Judge Reid’s legal conclusions. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that United States Magistrate Judge Reid’s Report and Recommendation (DE [11]) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. The Complaint (DE [1]) is DISMISSED. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case and DENY all pending motions as moot. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this 21st day of October 2020. < UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Copies to counsel via CM/ECF and Plaintiff, pro se
