SCOTT v. SATZ et al

1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PANAMA CITY DIVISION
LEE ROBERT SCOTT,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No. 5:25-cv-277-AW-MJF
MICHAEL SATZ, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Plaintiff Lee Robert Scott sued judges, prosecutors, and state agencies,
claiming they violated his rights in connection with his criminal prosecution. ECF
No. 1. The magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation that concluded
dismissal was appropriate. ECF No. 4. I have considered the report and
recommendation, and I have considered de novo the issues raised in Scott’s
objections (ECF No. 5). I now conclude dismissal is appropriate.
The magistrate judge concludes venue is improper here. That is likely correct,
but I need not decide the issue. I conclude, as did the magistrate judge, that the
defendants are immune from suit in their individual capacities based on judicial and
prosecutorial immunity. I also conclude the official-capacity defendants are entitled
to Eleventh Amendment immunity. Thus, all claims will be dismissed pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(2).

In his objections, Scott contends the judges were acting in the complete
absence of jurisdiction, but he has not shown this to be so. I now overrule all of
Scott’s objections, and I adopt the report and recommendation and incorporate it into
this order (other than the section on venue). Any amendment would be futile.
The clerk will enter a judgment that says, “Plaintiff’s claims are all dismissed
based on Defendants’ immunity from suit.” The clerk will then close the file.
SO ORDERED on November 4, 2025.
