3 3 order Order Tue 05/06 10:55 AM
ENDORSED ORDER: Upon review, the Court finds that the state court pleadings, (Docs. [1-1], [1-3] at 10), constitute impermissible shotgun pleadings, see Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off. , 792 F.3d 1313, 1320 (11th Cir. 2015). The pleadings fail to "separat[e] into a different count each cause of action or claim for relief" and thus fail to provide the defendant with "adequate notice of the claims against [the defendant] and the grounds upon which each claim rests." Id. at 1323. Accordingly, these pleadings (both the statement of claim and the amendment) are DISMISSED, and the plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint no later than May 20, 2025. In any amended complaint and in addition to resolving the deficiencies described earlier, the plaintiff must (1) plead his complaint in separate claims for relief and include no more than one claim for relief in each count; (2) state above each count in the form of a title or a heading the name of one and only one claim for relief that the count alleges; (3) separate or identify the facts that support each count from the facts that support another count or counts; and (4) in each claim state the relief to which, based on the claim, the plaintiff claims entitlement. If the plaintiff fails to timely amend his complaint, this action will be dismissed without further notice. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 5/6/2025. (BTM)
