STEPHEN FRANCIS GUTMANN, et al.,

ORDER
This case is before the Court based on the magistrate judge’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 14). No objections were filed.
Upon due consideration of the Report and Recommendation and the case file,
the Court agrees with the magistrate judge’s determination that this case should be
dismissed because the second amended complaint is a shotgun pleading. It also
violates the local rules because it is not on court-mandated complaint form. See N.D.
Fla. Loc. R. 5.7(A).
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
1. The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and
incorporated by reference in this Order.
