JOSEPH LUTER, IV,

Plaintiff,

v.

SCHEEPSWERF GROOT-AMMERS B.V. d/b/a ZEELANDER YACHTS,

Defendant. ______________________________/

ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint based on the doctrine of forum non conveniens [ECF No. 17], filed on May 4, 2023 (the “Motion”). The Court referred the Motion to Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart for a Report and Recommendation (“Report”) [ECF No. 25]. On August 17, 2023, Judge Reinhart issued a Report recommending that Defendant’s Motion be denied [ECF No. 26]. The Report advised the parties to file any objections within fourteen days, or in the case of no objections, to file a notice indicating as much within five days of the Report [ECF No. 26, p. 12]. Both parties since have filed Notices informing the Court that they do not object to the Report [ECF Nos. 27, 28]. Upon review, the Court sees no clear error of fact or law in the well-reasoned Report. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); Macort v. Prem, Inc.,

(11th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The Report [ECF No. 26] is ACCEPTED. 2. Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 17] is DENIED. CASE NO. 23-80011-CIV-CANNON/Reinhart

3. Defendant shall file an Answer to the Complaint on or before September 20, 2023. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Fort Pierce, Florida, this 5th day of September 2023.
