Button v. Christopher Gardy Paul

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

ANGEL M. BUTTON, Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 8:21-cv-2255-KKM-TGW CHRISTOPHER GARDY PAUL and JENNIFER SANDERSON DAVIS, Defendants.

ORDER After this Court dismissed her first two complaints as shotgun pleadings, pro se plaintiff Angel Button filed the Second Amended Complaint against Defendants Deputy Christopher Gardy Paul and Sergeant Jennifer Sanderson Davis in their individual and official capacity as officers with the Polk County Sheriff's Office. (Doc. 19.) Defendants

move to dismiss, (Doc. 22), which Button opposes, (Doc. 30). The motion was referred to the Magistrate Judge who issued a Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 35.) After reviewing the Motion, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report recommending that this Court grant Defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismiss the case with prejudice. (Doc. 35.) The fourteen-day deadline for Button to object to the Magistrate Judge’s Report

has passed, and she has not filed an objection. Nevertheless, this Court reviews the Magistrate Judge’s conclusions de novo. See Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co.,

37 F.3d 603, 604

(11th Cir. 1994); Ashworth v. Glades Cnty. Bd. of Cnty. Comm'rs,

379 F. Supp. 3d 1244, 1246

(M.D. Fla. 2019) (Steele, J.). After a careful and complete review, the Court concludes that the Motion should be granted for the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge’s Report. (Doc. 35.) Because this

is the third iteration of Button’s claims and she has repeatedly failed to cure the deficiencies

in her complaints, the Second Amended Complaint is dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, the following is ORDERED: 1. The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 35) is ADOPTED and made a part of this Order for all purposes, including appellate review. 2. Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 22) is GRANTED with prejudice. 3. The Clerk is directed to ENTER JUDGMENT in favor of Defendants, to TERMINATE any pending motions and deadlines, and to CLOSE this

case.

ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on August 16, 2022.
