UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
GAINESVILLE DIVISION
KENTRELL HOUSTON,
Petitioner,
v. Case No. 1:25-cv-346-TKW-HTC
RICKY DIXON, SECT DEPT OF
CORR,
Respondent.
/
ORDER
This case is before the Court based on the magistrate judge’s Report and
Recommendation (R&R) (Doc. 9). No objections were filed.1
Upon due consideration of the R&R and the case file, the Court agrees with
the magistrate judge’s determination that this case should be dismissed based on
Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court orders. Accordingly,
it is ORDERED that:
1. The magistrate judge’s R&R is adopted and incorporated by reference
in this Order.
1 The copy of the R&R that was mailed to Petitioner’s address of record was returned as
undeliverable by the Post Office. See Doc. 10. The R&R was re-mailed to a different address that
the Clerk found for Petitioner, and that copy was presumably received by him because it was not
returned by the Post Office. Petitioner’s failure to keep the Court apprised of his current address
is an additional reason why this case should be dismissed.

the case file.
