Question presented

The question(s) are:

  1. Whether the district court properly dismissed and closed the case if the Plaintiff-Petitioner filed in the wrong court, rather than transfer it to the correct court in the interest of justice.

  2. Whether the magistrate judge erred by considering matters outside the "four corners" of the complaint when reviewing the complaint and making recommendations on a motion to dismiss, converting the motion to dismiss for reasons of jurisdiction to a summary judgment motion.

  3. Whether the Eleventh Circuit properly considered administrative error pursuant to Rule 65 in this judicial appeals, examining whether the district court’s actions were arbitrary, capricious, or otherwise contrary to law, including procedural violations.
