Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

BRIAN SHROPSHIRE,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 6:19-cv-878-RBD-EJK

BANK OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Defendant moved to strike Plaintiff’s jury trial demand, arguing the mortgage executed by Plaintiff contained a jury trial waiver for all actions arising out of the mortgage. (Doc. 55 (“Motion”).) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Embry J. Kidd recommends granting the Motion and striking the jury trial demand. (Doc. 95 (“R&R”).) The parties did not object to the R&R and the time for doing so has now passed. So the Court has examined the R&R only for clear error. See Wiand v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. 8:12-cv-557-T-27EAJ,

2016 WL 355490

Kidd’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 95) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order. 2. Defendant, Bank of America, N.A.’s Motion to Strike Jury-Trial Demand (Doc. 55) is GRANTED. -1- 3.
