NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

Petitioner,
v. Case No. 1:25-cv-309-AW-MAF
SECRETARY, FLORIDA
DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN
AND FAMILIES,
Respondent.
_______________________________/
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Petitioner Michael Lorusso has filed numerous § 2241 cases, all challenging
his state detention. This one was transferred here from the Southern District of
Florida. The magistrate judge recommends dismissal because Lorusso has neither
paid the filing fee nor filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF
No. 8. I have considered the report and recommendation, and I have considered de
novo the issues raised in Lorusso’s objection (ECF No. 9). Lorusso has had an
opportunity to pay the filing fee or to move for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
As the magistrate judge concludes, his failure to do either warrants dismissal.
I now adopt the report and recommendation (ECF No. 8) and incorporate it
into this order. The clerk will enter a judgment that says, “The § 2241 petition is
dismissed without prejudice.” A certificate of appealability is denied. The clerk will
close the file.
