IVEY v. GLASS et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE DIVISION
STEVEN IVEY,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No.: 4:25cv473-MW/MAF
MARK GLASS and
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT,
Defendants.
_________________________/
ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This Court has considered, without hearing, the Magistrate Judge's Report and
Recommendation, ECF No. 12, and has also reviewed de novo Plaintiff’s objections,
ECF No. 14. As noted in the report and recommendation, Plaintiff has failed to allege
any facts at all pertaining to Defendant Glass, and thus, he has failed to state a claim
for relief against Defendant Glass. Plaintiff’s objections are nonresponsive to this
point. With respect to the recommendation that Plaintiff’s claim against the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement should be dismissed as barred by the Eleventh
Amendment, Plaintiff makes no sensible argument to persuade this Court otherwise.
In short, having reviewed Plaintiff’s objections de novo, this Court is persuaded that
the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation is correct and should be adopted.
Accordingly,
Case 4:25-cv-00473-MW-MAF Document 15 Filed 01/27/26 Page 1 of 2

IT IS ORDERED:
The report and recommendation, ECF No. 12, is accepted and adopted, over
the Plaintiff’s objections, as this Court’s opinion. The Clerk shall enter judgment
stating, “Plaintiff’s amended complaint, ECF No. 10, is DISMISSED for failure to
state a claim upon which relief may be granted 	pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2).” The Clerk shall close the file.
SO ORDERED on January 27, 2026.
