UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

RICHARD HONE, S.H.T., Plaintiff, v. Case No. 8:25-cv-790-KKM-AEP JAMES S. MYERS, et al., Defendants.

ORDER

In a June 26, 2025, Report and Recommendation (R&R) (Doc. 24), the United States Magistrate Judge recommends that this action be dismissed for want

of prosecution. Local Rule 3.10. The deadline to object has passed without an objection.

After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation.

(b)(1). If a party files a timely and

specific objection to a finding of fact by a magistrate judge, the district court must review de novo that factual issue. ,

, 1576 (11th Cir. 1992). The district court reviews legal conclusions de novo, even absent an

objection. ,

(11th Cir. 1994); ,

(M.D. Fla. 2019). Absent an objection and after reviewing the factual allegations and legal

conclusions, the Court adopts the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation. In their motion for an extension of time, the defendants included an email from plaintiff Richard Hone responding to the defendants’ efforts to confer under Local

Rule 3.01(g): OPPOSE. Let’s make it easy, I OPPOSE everything you are doing in your “representation” of all these useless scumbags. Also, in the future, ONLY mail me your requests. I don’t have the time or the temerity to be bothered by your harassing emails. (Doc. 8) at 7. The Magistrate Judge chastened Hone for his lack of civility and ordered that the parties “confer by email, phone, or videoconference for any future necessary conferrals.” (Doc. 11) at 2–3. The defendants later reported that Hone had

“deleted his email address from the CM/ECF system” and later “decided to refuse service by mail” as well. (Doc. 15) at 3–4. The Magistrate Judge responded by

ordering Hone to contact the Magistrate Judge’s courtroom deputy to confirm Hone’s email address (so that the Magistrate Judge could schedule the IDEAL program case management conference). (Doc. 20). Hone failed to respond to this

order, so the Magistrate Judge ordered him to show cause why the action should not

be dismissed for failure to prosecute. (Doc. 22). When Hone failed to respond again, the Magistrate Judge recommended dismissal. R&R. Hone’s repeated “failure to

comply with court orders” warrants dismissal under Local Rule 3.10. Gomez v. Cap. One Bank, N.A., No. 8:24-cv-1047-KKM-NHA,

1. The Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 24) is
