UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

RYAN B. JOHNSEN,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 6:24-cv-1636-RBD-DCI

L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

Defendant. ____________________________________

ORDER In this employment discrimination case, Plaintiff moved to strike Defendant’s affirmative defenses. (Doc. 35.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel C. Irick entered a Report and Recommendation submitting that the Court should deny the motion but construe the first and third defenses as denials. (Doc. 45 (“R&R”).) The parties did not object, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc.,

(11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 45) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order in its entirety. 2. Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 35) is DENIED, but the Court construes the First and Third Affirmative Defenses as denials. DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on October 14, 2025.
