Civil Action No. 22-23635-Civ-Scola 

Order Adopting Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendations

Previously, the Court referred Plaintiff Worldwide Distributors, Inc.’s 

motion for default judgment (Pl.’s Mot., ECF No. 18) to United States 

Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman for a report and recommendations. 

(Court’s Ref., ECF No. 20.) Thereafter, subsequent to holding an evidentiary 

hearing, Judge Goodman issued a report, recommending that the Court deny 

the motion without prejudice. (Rep. & Rec., ECF No. 31.) Though Worldwide did 

not file any objections to the report, it has filed what it captions a response, 

advising that it “has decided not to file an appeal of the order.” (Pl.’s Resp., ECF 

No. 36.) 

Despite the lack of objections, the Court has nonetheless made a de novo 

review of Judge Goodman’s recommendations. After careful consideration of his 

report, the record, and the relevant legal authorities, the Court agrees with the 

entirety of Judge Goodman’s findings and conclusions: the complaint’s 

allegations do not establish the Court’s subject-matter jurisdiction or personal 

jurisdiction over Defendant Maven Med, Inc.; Worldwide failed to state claim for 

conversion; and Worldwide has not established its standing to pursue a claim 

on behalf of Baltimore County. The Court therefore affirms and adopts Judge 

Goodman’s report and recommendations (ECF No. 31), thus denying the 

motion without prejudice (ECF No. 18). 

Accordingly, the Court dismisses Worldwide’s complaint, without 

prejudice, and orders Worldwide to file an amended complaint, on or before 

July 28, 2023,* if it believes it can, in good faith, allege facts curing the 

pleading deficiencies identified by Judge Goodman. If Worldwide fails to 

adequately allege the Court’s subject-matter jurisdiction, the Court will dismiss 

the complaint without prejudice. Further, as ordered by Judge Goodman, 

Worldwide must ensure that Maven Med is subject to this Court’s jurisdiction 

under the Florida long-arm statute and that the requirements of due process 

* In its “response,” Worldwide has requested thirty days to file its amended complaint due to 

pre-planned obligations. (Pl.’s Resp. at 1 – 2.)

are met. If Worldwide cannot satisfy these conditions, then it may not file an 

amended complaint and must instead file a notice, advising the Court as to the 

status of this case.

The Court directs the Clerk to mail a copy of this order to Maven Med at 

the address indicated below.

Since there is currently no viable pleading before the Court, the Clerk is 

directed to administratively close this case. If Worldwide files a complaint, 

compliant with Judge Goodman’s orders, the Court will reopen this case.

Done and ordered in Miami, Florida, on June 29, 2023.
