The opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

PANAMA CITY DIVISION

WILLIS MILLER,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No. 5:24-cv-253-TKW-MJF

OFFICER BROWN, et al.,

Defendants.

/

ORDER

This case is before the Court based on the magistrate judge’s Report and

Recommendation (Doc. 13). No objections were filed.

Upon due consideration of the Report and Recommendation and the case file,

the Court agrees with the magistrate judge’s determination that this case should be

dismissed without prejudice as malicious because Plaintiff abused the judicial

process in failing to disclose his litigation history complete and honestly. See Burrell

v. Warden, 857 F. App’x 624, 625 (11th Cir. 2021) (“An action is malicious when a

prisoner misrepresents his prior litigation history on a complaint form requiring

disclosure of such history and signs the complaint under penalty of perjury, as such

a complaint is an abuse of the judicial process.”).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
