IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA STATESBORO DIVISION MICHAEL DESHAUN WILLIAMS, ) Plaintiff, Vv. CV 622-047 VIDALIA ORTHOPEDIC CENTER, LLC, et. al., ) ) Defendants. )

ORDER

After a careful, de novo review of the file, the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation, to which objections have been filed. (Doc. no. 7.) In addition to filing objections, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. (Doc. no. 8.) Although leave to amend under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) is generally given freely, Foman v. Davis,

(1962), leave is not guaranteed, and a trial court may deny such leave “in the exercise of its inherent power to manage the conduct of litigation before it.” Reese v. Herbert,

(11th Cir. 2008). “In making this determination, a court should consider whether there has been undue delay in filing, bad faith or dilatory motives, prejudice to the opposing parties, and the futility of the amendment.” Saewitz v. Lexington Ins. Co.,

(11th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (quoting Foman,

). The Court DENIES leave to file the second amended complaint because permitting amendment based on such a shotgun pleading would be futile. The second amended complaint alleges state law

claims for medical malpractice and workers’ compensation violations. Merely listing federal statutes and blithely alleging a far-flung conspiracy, with no attempt to allege supporting factual details, fails to state a claim or a basis for federal jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiff's objections, ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge as its opinion, DISMISSES this case without prejudice, and CLOSES this civil action.
