CASE NO. 1:17-23847-CIV-KING/REINHART
01-14-2021
THOMAS COOK, Plaintiff, v. JULIE L. JONES, et al., Defendant(s).
ORDER DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND AFFIRMING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the November 12, 2020 sua sponte Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (DE 113) of Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart.
The R&R recommends dismissing Plaintiff's pro se Civil Rights Complaint (DE 1) pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to prosecute by failing to comply with the Court's Order (DE 111) requiring a response to the motions for summary judgment. See generally R&R. The extension of time Plaintiff was granted (DE 115, 119) to respond to the summary judgment motions has expired; no response has been filed. Upon consideration of the record and the R&R, the Court finds that Magistrate Judge Reinhart's well-reasoned R&R accurately states the law of the case.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED as follows:
1. Magistrate Judge Bruce E. Reinhart's November 12, 2020 Report and Recommendation (DE 113) be, and the same is, hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as an order of this Court.
2. This case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
3. Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment (DE 107-108) are DENIED AS MOOT.
4. The Clerk shall CLOSE this case.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers at the James Lawrence King Federal Justice Building and United States Courthouse, Miami, Florida, this 14th day of January, 2021.
