DESITIN CONNER, Plaintiff, v. CHARLIE ANDREWS, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
TERRY F. MOORER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
On August 24, 2021, the Magistrate Judge entered a report and recommendation which recommends the Defendants motion to dismiss (Doc. 9) be granted, this action be dismissed against the current defendant, and Plaintiff be given leave to file an amended complaint identifying the proper defendant. See Doc. 15. No. objections were filed.
After due and proper consideration of all portions of this file deemed relevant to the issues raised, and there having been no objections filed, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 9) is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint with Prejudice (Doc. 9) is GRANTED as to the claims made against Charlie Andrews.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff may file an amended complaint identifying the proper defendant Nickey Warehouse. The Amended Complaint must be filed on or before November 1, 2021. Failure to comply may result in final judgment being entered on this case. 1
“Where a more carefully drafted complaint might state a claim, a [pro se] plaintiff must be given at least one chance to amend the complaint before the district court dismisses the action with prejudice.” Bank v. Pitt, 928 F.2d 1108, 1112 (11th Cir. 1991), overruled in part, Wagner v. Daewoo Heavy Indus. Am. Corp., 314 F.3d 541 (11th Cir. 2002) (en banc); see also Collar v. Rivera, 823 Fed.Appx. 710, 711-12 (11th Cir. 2020) (quoting Bank and reiterating same).
DONE and ORDERED. 2
