UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

HASSANNA GRIER,

Plaintiff, v. Case No. 8:23-cv-2916-WFJ-NHA

IN TOWN SUITES CLERK, TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, and HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE,

Defendants. ___________________________________/

ORDER Before the Court is Plaintiff’ amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 15) and the United States Magistrate Judge’s report recommending that the Amended Complaint (Dkt. 14) be dismissed with prejudice (Dkt. 16). The time for filing objections has passed. The Court reviews the legal conclusions de novo in the absence of an objection. See LeCroy v. McNeil,

, 556 (11th Cir. 2010) (citation omitted); Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co.,

(11th Cir. 1994). The magistrate judge, in a thorough analysis, found that the amended complaint (Dkt. 14) does not demonstrate, after several attempts, why this Court has jurisdiction over her claims. Additionally, the Court does not have the authority to authorize her suit without requiring prepayment of the filing fee, as conveyed to Plaintiff in prior orders and as stated in the report (Dkts. 8, 11, 13, 16). The Court agrees based on the reasons explained in the Report and Recommendation and in conjunction with an independent examination of the file. Accordingly, the Court rules as follows: 1. The Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 16) is adopted, confirmed, and approved in all respects and made a part of this order. 2. Plaintiff’s amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. 15) is denied. 3. Plaintiff's amended complaint (Dkt. 14) is dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff is not permitted to refile an amended complaint. 4. The Clerk is directed to terminate any pending deadlines and close the

case. DONE AND ORDERED at Tampa, Florida, on August 12, 2024. me, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
