August 27, 2021 Filing 13 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT against Financial Business and Consumer Solutions, Inc., Jefferson Capital Systems, LLC with Jury Demand filed by Stephanie Klein. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A, #2 Exhibit B)(Diamond, Kaelyn) Modified text on 8/27/2021 (JLD).
August 16, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ENDORSED ORDER: Upon review, the Court finds this complaint constitutes an impermissible shotgun pleading. See Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1320-23 (11th Cir. 2015). Specifically, Plaintiff alleges multiple violations of the FDCPA, but does not break every claim for relief out into individual counts. See id. Most egregiously, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant's violations "include, but are not limited to" and names a few, but apparently not all, of the provisions of the FDCPA by which she intends to pursue claims against the Defendant. This type of pleading cannot possibly give Defendant "adequate notice of the claims against [it] and the grounds upon which each claim rests." See id. Accordingly, the Court STRIKES Plaintiff's complaint. Plaintiff must file an amended complaint complying with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by August 27, 2021, or this action will be dismissed. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/16/2021. (NPC)
