Johnson v. State of Florida

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

FORT PIERCE DIVISION

CASE NO. 20-14218-CIV-CANNON

TAQUANTE AKEEM JOHNSON,

Petitioner, v.

STATE OF FLORIDA, et al.,

Respondent. ______________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Relief for Reduction and/or Modification of Bail [ECF No. 1], filed on June 30, 2020 (“Motion”). The Motion was previously referred to Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid for a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) on all dispositive matters [ECF No. 2]. On October 14, 2020, the Magistrate Judge issued an R&R recommending that the Motion be denied [ECF No. 6]. The R&R states that the Petitioner shall file any objections within fourteen days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R [ECF No. 6, p. 5]. To date, Petitioner has filed no objections, nor has he sought additional time in which to do so.

Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R and the record in this case and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court therefore agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that the Motion must be DENIED for the reasons set forth therein.

CASE NO. 20-14218-CIV-CANNON Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:

1. The R&R [ECF No. 6] is ADOPTED;

2. The Motion [ECF No. 1] is DENIED;

3. A Certificate of Appealability SHALL NOT ISSUE;

4. All pending motions are DENIED AS MOOT; and

5. The Clerk shall CLOSE this case.

DONE AND ORDERED in Fort Pierce, Florida this 18th day of March 2021.
