ORDER

GREGORY PRESNELL, District Judge

This matter came before the Court without oral argument upon consideration of pro se Plaintiff's, Rehana Vaidya ("Plaintiff"), Complaint (Doc. 1) and Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2), U.S. Magistrate Judge Karla R. Spaulding's Report and Recommendation regarding same (Doc. 3), and Plaintiff's Objections to the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 6). Upon careful review, it is

ORDERED and ADJUDGED that:

1. Plaintiff's Objections are OVERRULED and the Report and Recommendation is CONFIRMED and ADOPTED.

2. The Complaint is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint that, inter alia, complies with FED. R. CIV. P. 10(b) by setting forth each count seriatim (see Doc. 3 at 5), by no later than Tuesday, January 26, 2010.

3. Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff may renew her motion upon the filing of her amended complaint and shall use the long form application to proceed without prepayment of costs available on the Middle District's website.¹ Because the Court's form is designed to be filled out electronically, Plaintiff shall type and then print the application using any number of freely-available PDF readers.²

2 See, e.g., Adobe Reader,http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-READER.

4. Finally, Plaintiff is cautioned that while she may be entitled to limited allowances due to her lack of legal training, she is not excused from complying with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court.³ See, e.g., Moon v. Newsome, 863 F.2d 835, 837 (11th Cir. 1989). In light of Plaintiff's status as a law student, the Court will expect strict adherence to these rules moving forward.
