Plaintiff, v.

BROWARD COUNTY OFFICE OF MEDICAL EXAMINER & TRAUMA and FOREST LAWN FUNERAL HOME & MEMORIAL GARDENS,

Defendants. /

ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING REPORT OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE

This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation (the “Report”) of the Honorable, Panayotta Augustin-Birch U.S. Magistrate Judge, on Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint [DE 14]. In her thorough and well-reasoned Report, Judge Augustin-Birch recommends that Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint be dismissed and that the case be closed. Plaintiff filed objections to the Report. A district court may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

(b)(1). Those portions of the report and recommendation to which objections are made are accorded de novo review, if those objections “pinpoint the specific findings that the party disagrees with.” United States v. Schultz,

(11th Cir. 2009); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). The Court, having considered Judge Augustin-Birch’s Report, Petitioner’s objections thereto, and having conducted a de novo review of the record, agrees with Judge Augustin-Birch’s well-reasoned analysis and her recommendation that the Amended Complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that: 2) Plaintiff's Amended Complaint [DE 11] is DISMISSED. 3) This case is CLOSED. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this 30th day of July, 2025.
