UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA PANAMA CITY DIVISION

DARRYL C. DANIELS,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 5:22-cv-112-TKW/MJF

Z. CULPEPPER, et al.,

Defendants. / ORDER This case is before the Court based on the magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6) and Plaintiff’s objection (Doc. 7). The Court reviewed the issues raised in the objection de novo as required by

(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3), and based on that review, the Court agrees with the magistrate judge’s determination that this case should be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. §1915A(b)(1) based on Plaintiff’s failure to fully disclose his litigation history. The Court did not overlook Plaintiff’s argument that he should be held to a less stringent standard because he is not a lawyer, but the Court finds that argument unpersuasive because the litigation history questions on the complaint form are simple and straightforward and do not require a legal education to answer. See Kendrick v. Sec'y, Fla. Dep't of Corr.,

, at *3 (11th Cir. July 1, 2022); Merritt v. Dep't of Corr.,

, at *1 (N.D. Fla. Nov. 13, 2020). Page 2 of 2 Nor did the Court overlook the other issues raised in the objection, but none of those issues have any bearing on the dispositive question of whether Plaintiff fully disclosed his litigation history. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that: 1. The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and incorporated by reference in this Order. 2. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. $1915A(b)(1) as an abuse of the judicial process. 3. The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and close the case file. DONE and ORDERED this Ist day of August, 2022.
