ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes for consideration on United States Magistrate Judge David A. Baker's July 12, 2012 Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16). Judge Baker recommended that Plaintiffs' Complaint be dismissed for Plaintiffs' failure to comply with the June 22, 2012 Order to Show Cause (Doc. 12). (See Doc. 16 at 2.) Specifically, Plaintiffs failed to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. (See id. at 1.) After the date of Judge Baker's Report and Recommendation, Plaintiffs filed a response to the Order to Show Cause. (See Doc. 17.) Although Plaintiffs failed to file their response in a timely fashion, the Court will evaluate the merits of Plaintiffs' arguments rather than immediately dismiss the case.
Therefore, the Court _________________ United States Magistrate Judge David A. Baker's July 12, 2012 Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16). It is further ORDERED that this matter be REFERRED, pursuant to Local Rule 6.01(a), M.D. Fla., Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) and 28 U.S.C. 636(b), to the United States Magistrate Judge for a Report and Recommendation to the Court as to the appropriate disposition of this matter in light of Plaintiffs' response to the Order to Show Cause.
DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on this 23 day of July, 2012.
