BRUCE v. DOE et al

1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PANAMA CITY DIVISION
EMMANUEL BRUCE,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 5:26-cv-7-AW-MJF
JOHN DOE (WASHINGTON CORR.
INSTITUTION WARDEN), et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff has not complied with court orders. The magistrate judge thus issued
a report and recommendation, which concluded the court should dismiss on that
basis. ECF No. 10. I have considered that report and recommendation, and I have
considered de novo the issues raised in Plaintiff’s “Letter to Aware” (ECF No. 11),
which I have treated as an objection to the report and recommendation.
I now adopt the report and recommendation and incorporate it into this order.
Although Plaintiff’s letter suggests he has been hindered in obtaining documents to
support his in forma pauperis application, the letter offers no satisfactory
explanation of why Plaintiff failed to comply with other court directions, including
the direction to file an amended complaint on the proper court form. Under these
circumstances, dismissal without prejudice is appropriate.

The clerk will enter a judgment that says, “This case is dismissed without
prejudice for failure to comply with a court order and failure to prosecute.” The clerk
will then close the file.
SO ORDERED on May 4, 2026.
