Hart v. Carbuccia

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 25-60335-CIV-SMITH
JONATHAN D. HART,
Plaintiff,
v.
ELAINE A. CARBUCCIA,
Defendant.
______________________________________/
ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This matter is before the Court upon the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation
[DE 32] on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss [DE 12] and Plaintiff’s Objections [DE 33]. In his
thorough and well-reasoned Report and Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Hunt recommends
that this case be DISMISSED with prejudice because Defendant is entitled to judicial immunity.
Further, Plaintiff has been provided with multiple opportunities to amend and further amendment
would be futile given the Court’s finding of judicial immunity.
A 	district 	court 	may 	accept, 	reject, 	or 	modify 	a 	magistrate 	judge’s 	report 	and
recommendation. 	28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 	Those portions of the report and recommendation to
which objections are made are accorded de novo review, if those objections “pinpoint the specific
findings that the party disagrees with.” United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1360 (11th Cir.
2009); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
The Court, having considered Judge Hunt’s Report, Plaintiff’s objections thereto, and
having conducted a de novo review of the record, agrees with Judge Hunt’s well-reasoned analysis
and his recommendation that this case be dismissed with prejudice.
