Date Filed Document Text
June 9, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ENDORSED ORDER: The report and recommendation (Doc. 4) is ADOPTED and the complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. No later than JUNE 30, 2026, the plaintiff may amend the complaint. Litigation in federal court is difficult and requires timely compliance with applicable rules, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and several procedural, discovery, and other orders. A judge cannot assist a party, even a pro se party, in conducting an action. Therefore, the plaintiff is strongly advised to obtain legal advice and assistance--preferably full representation--from a member of The Florida Bar. To the extent he intends to continue to represent himself in this action, the plaintiff should familiarize himself with both the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure at https://www.uscourts.gov/forms-rules/current-rules-practice-procedure/federal-rules-civil-procedure and the Local Rules for the Middle District of Florida at https://www.flmd.uscourts.gov/local-rules, a copy of each of which is available in the clerk's office on the second floor of the Sam M. Gibbons United States Courthouse, 801 North Florida Avenue, Tampa, Florida. Also, the plaintiff can consult the "Litigants Without Lawyers" guide at https://www.flmd.uscourts.gov/litigants-without-lawyers. Signed by Judge Steven D. Merryday on 6/9/2026. (BES)
