RAMSEY v. HUGHES et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PENSACOLA DIVISION
JAVONTE RAMSEY a/ka/
JOVONTE RAMSEY,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No.: 3:25cv202-MW/ZCB
CAPTAIN HUGHES, et al.,
Defendants.
_________________________/
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This Court has considered, without hearing, the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation. 	ECF 	No. 	46. 	The 	Magistrate 	Judge 	recommends 	granting
Defendants’ motion to dismiss in part with respect to Plaintiff’s requests for
declaratory and injunctive relief and denying the balance of the motion premised on
Plaintiff’s failure to accurately disclose his litigation history. Defendants contend
that dismissal is necessary in this case based on Plaintiff’s initial failure to fully
disclose his litigation history and his subsequent insufficient disclosure in his
amended complaint. But this Court has “considerable discretion” when exercising
its inherent authority to manage its docket and determining whether to sanction a
violation of the local rules. McNair v. Johnson, 143 F. 4th 1301, 1308 (11th Cir.
Case 3:25-cv-00202-MW-ZCB Document 57 Filed 01/05/26 Page 1 of 2

2025). This Court is not persuaded, under the unique facts of this case, that dismissal
ought to be imposed as a sanction. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
The report and recommendation, ECF No. 46, is accepted and adopted as
this Court’s opinion. Defendants’ motion to dismiss, ECF No. 40, is GRANTED in
part and DENIED in part. Plaintiff’s requests for declaratory and injunctive relief
are DISMISSED. The balance of the motion to dismiss is DENIED. This case is
referred back to the Magistrate Judge for further consideration of Plaintiff’s Eighth
Amendment claims for monetary damages against Defendants.
SO ORDERED on January 5, 2026.
