UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT  
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 
 
CASE NO. 9:25-cv-80639-EA 
 
Anthony J. Roberts, 
 
 Plaintiff, 
v. 
 
Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, 
 
 Defendant. 
______________________________/ 
 
ORDER 
 
 THIS CAUSE came before the Court on Magistrate Judge Ryon M. McCabe’s Report and 
Recommendation on the Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration (“Report”), entered on 
September 26, 2025. [ECF No. 14]. The plaintiff objects to the Report pursuant to Rule 72(b)(2) 
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. [ECF No. 27]. Therein, the plaintiff lodges four objections 
with various sub-objections. [ECF No. 27]. The defendant opposed the objections to the Report. 
[ECF No. 28]. When a magistrate judge’s report and r ecommendation is timely objected to, the 
district court reviews the objected-to portions of the report and recommendation de novo. Wade v. 
Dep’t of Veteran Affs., Case No. 23-cv-20186, 2023 WL 4228182 at *1 (S.D. Fla. June 28, 2023). 
A party lodging an objection to a report and recommendation “must clearly advise the district court 
and pinpoint the specific findings that the party disagrees with.” U.S. v. Schultz , 565 F.3d 1353, 
1360 (11th Cir. 2009).  
The Court has thus reviewed the Report de novo and is in full agreement with Judge 
McCabe’s comprehensive analysis and recommendations.  
It is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 
1. The Report [ECF No. 14] is AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED.  
2. Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration [ECF No. 9] is GRANTED.  To the extent

the plaintiff wishes to pursue his claims against the defendant, he must pursue those 
claims with the appropriate arbitration forum. 
3. This case is STAYED pending the final outcome of arbitration as required by 9 
U.S.C. § 3.  
4. The Clerk SHALL FILE a Notice of Compliance on the docket that a copy of this 
Order was mailed to the plaintiff.  
 DONE AND ORDERED in West Palm Beach, Florida, this 22nd day of December, 2025.
