1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
MICHAEL LORUSSO,
Petitioner,
v. Case No. 1:25-cv-282-AW-ZCB
SECRETARY OF FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF FAMILIES AND
CHILDREN SERVICES,
Respondent.
_______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Petitioner Michael Lorusso has filed numerous § 2241 cases in this court, all
challenging his state detention. This is one of those cases. The magistrate judge
recommends dismissal based on Younger abstention and because the petition is
duplicative. ECF No. 7. Lorusso has filed a motion for reconsideration, ECF No. 8,
which I construe as an objection to the report and recommendation. Having
considered the report and recommendation, and having considered de novo the
issues raised in Lorusso’s objection, I now adopt the report and recommendation and
incorporate it into this order.
The clerk will enter a judgment that says, “The § 2241 petition is dismissed
as duplicative and based on Younger abstention.” A certificate of appealability is
denied. The clerk will close the file.
