Plaintiff,

SECRETARY, FLORIDA DEPARMENT

ORDER
This case is before the Court based on the magistrate judge’s Report and
Recommendation (Doc. 11). 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 under the “three strike statute,” 28 U.S.C. §1915(g). Normally, dismissal
under §1915(g) is without prejudice, but the Court agrees with the magistrate judge
that dismissal with prejudice is warranted because the claims in the complaint are
frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. §1915A(b)(1). Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that:
1. The magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation is adopted and
incorporated by reference in this Order.

and 1915A(b)(1).
4. The Clerk shall enter judgment in accordance with this Order and close
the case file.
DONE AND ORDERED this 15th day of May, 2026.
