UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION

ADAM OF THE LIBONATI FAMILY NAME,

Plaintiff,

v.

COURTNEY ANN LENHART, DAVID Case No.: 2:25-cv-00424-JLB-NPM VINCENT WARD, JEROME KASZUBOWSKI, and DEREK S. CHRISTIAN,

Defendants.

_______________________________________/

ORDER

Before the Court is pro se Plaintiff Adam of the Libonati Family Name’s Complaint (Doc. 1) and Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 3). Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction does not contain specific facts supported by a verified complaint, affidavit, or other evidence demonstrating an entitlement to relief; a precise and verified explanation of the amount and form of the required security; or a proposed order. See M.D. Fla. Loc. R. 6.01(a), 6.02(a)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c). Additionally, Plaintiff does not appear to have provided notice of the Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 3) to Defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(1). Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 3) is therefore DENIED without prejudice. As another matter, Plaintiff (who is not in custody) has yet to pay the filing fee 1 or move to proceed without prepayment of costs. See

(allowing a litigant to commence a civil action without prepayment of the filing fee if the litigant submits an affidavit showing they are unable to pay). This action is therefore

DISMISSED without prejudice. See

(c) (“Each district court by rule or standing order may require advance payment of fees.”); Local Rule 1.05(c) (“The clerk must accept an initial paper from a person in custody even if no filing fee or motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis accompanies the paper.” (emphasis added)); Myers v. City of Naples, Fla., No. 23-13073,

, at *2 (11th Cir. Nov. 6, 2024) (affirming the dismissal of an unrepresented, non-prisoner

litigant’s complaint for failure to contemporaneously pay the filing fee or move in forma pauperis). If Plaintiff wants to proceed with his claims, he may file another complaint under a separate case number that is accompanied by the required filing fee or a signed long-form application to proceed without prepaying fees or costs (available at www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/ao239 1.pdf). - Remainder of page intentionally left blank -

2 Accordingly, it is now ORDERED: 1. Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 3) is DENIED without prejudice. 2. The Complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice. 3. The Clerk is DIRECTED to deny any pending motions as moot, terminate any deadlines, and close the case. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on June 6, 2025.
