The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
CASE NO. 25-61332-CIV-SMITH/VALLE
LUTRICIA LUSHAN BROWN ALLEN,
Plaintiff,
vs.
STATE OF FLORIDA, ET AL.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER AFFIRMING AND ADOPTING REPORT OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter is before the Court upon Magistrate Judge Valle’s Report and
Recommendation to District Judge [DE 32], in which she recommends denying Plaintiff’s
Emergency Demand for Order of Preliminary Injunction to Halt All “State of Florida” Court
Proceedings in Case 25000388MM10A and Protect Constitutional Rights Under 28 U.S.C. § 1651,
28 U.S.C. § 2283, and 28 U.S.C. § 1361 [DE 27] and dismissing Plaintiff’s Supplemental and
Amended Civil Rights Complaint [DE 28] as untimely and procedurally deficient. Plaintiff has
filed “Measured Objections to the Report and Recommendation Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)”
[DE 33].
Under Rule 4(b) of the Magistrate Judge Rules of the Southern District of Florida, written
objections to a Report and Recommendation “shall specifically identify the portions of the
proposed findings, recommendations or report to which objection is made, the specific basis for
such objections, and supporting legal authority.” See also Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781,
783 (11th Cir. 2006) (stating that an objection to a magistrate judge’s findings and
recommendations “shall specifically identify the portions of the proposed findings and
recommendation to which objection is made and the specific basis for objection”) (citation
omitted). Plaintiff’s Objections are not proper objections because they do not specifically identify
the portions of the proposed findings, recommendations or report to which objection is made, the
specific basis for such objections, and supporting legal authority. Consequently, the Court will
not directly address Plaintiff’s Objections and the Objections are overruled.
Additionally, the Omnibus Order on Procedural Motions and Dismissing Complaint [DE
19] dismissed Plaintiff’s Complaint for Violation of Civil Rights [DE 1] and gave Plaintiff until
November 21, 2025, to file an Amended Complaint in compliance with the Omnibus Order. The
Omnibus Order warned that “Failure to timely file the Amended Complaint will result in dismissal
of this case.” (Omnibus Order at 11 (emphasis added).) Plaintiff filed her Supplemental &
Amended Civil Rights Complaint in Addition to and in Support of the Original Federal Complaint
[DE 28] on November 26, 2025. Thus, Plaintiff’s Supplemental & Amended Complaint was
untimely. Pursuant to the Omnibus Order, dismissal of this action is appropriate.
Moreover, a review of Plaintiff’s Emergency Demand for Order of Preliminary Injunction
to Halt All “State of Florida” Court Proceedings in Case 25000388MM10A and Protect
Constitutional Rights Under 28 U.S.C. § 1651, 28 U.S.C. § 2283, and 28 U.S.C. § 1361 [DE 27]
indicates that Plaintiff has failed to meet the requirements for the issuance of a preliminary
injunction. A review of Plaintiff’s Supplemental & Amended Complaint indicates that Plaintiff
failed to correct the deficiencies of her initial Complaint for Violation of Civil Rights, which the
Court dismissed for procedural deficiencies, failure to state a claim, and being a shotgun pleading.
Having reviewed, de novo, the Report and Recommendation, Plaintiff’s Objections, and
the record, it is
ORDERED that:
1) Magistrate Judge Valle’s Report and Recommendation to District Judge [DE 32] is
AFFIRMED and ADOPTED and incorporated by reference into this Court’s Order.
2) Plaintiff's Supplemental and Amended Civil Rights Complaint [DE 28] is
DISMISSED.
3) Plaintiff's Emergency Demand for Order of Preliminary Injunction to Halt All
“State of Florida” Court Proceedings in Case 25000388MM10A and Protect Constitutional Rights
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1651, 28 U.S.C. § 2283, and 28 U.S.C. § 1361 [DE 27] is DENIED.
4) Plaintiff's “Measured Objections to the Report and Recommendation Pursuant to
28 US.C. § 636(b)(1)” [DE 33] are OVERRULED.
5) All pending motions not otherwise ruled upon are DENIED as moot.
6) This case is CLOSED.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this 30th day of January, 2026.
