Defendants. / ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2). United States Magistrate Judge Philip R. Lammens submitted a Report and Recommendation (“R&R,” Doc. 4), in which he recommends that the motion be denied. He further recommends that the Complaint be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
After a de novo review of the record, and noting that no objections were timely filed, [1] the Court agrees with the analysis set forth in the R&R. Therefore, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 4) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and
made a part of this Order. *2 2. Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2) is DENIED . 3. The Complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice .
4. The Clerk is directed to close this case.
DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on April 24, 2017.

[1] Although Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal (Doc. 5), apparently seeking relief from Judge Lammens’ R&R, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Plaintiff’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction, (Dismissal Order, Doc. 7). While the Court could perhaps construe Plaintiff’s appeal as an objection to the R&R, it will not do so here as the appeal was filed more than two months after the R&R was issued—long after the fourteen-day window for the filing of timely objections had passed.
