Date Filed Document Text
December 16, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ENDORSED ORDER dismissing action without prejudice because the earlier Order 6 striking the Complaint as a shotgun pleading has now become a final order. See Auto. Alignment & Body Serv., Inc. v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 953 F.3d 707, 719-722 (11th Cir. 2020) ("Hertz [Corp. v. Alamo Rent-A-Car, Inc., 16 F.3d 1126 (11th Cir. 1994)] establishes that an order dismissing a complaint with leave to amend within a specified time becomes a final judgment if the time allowed for amendment expires without the plaintiff seeking an extension. And when the order becomes a final judgment, the district court loses 'all its prejudgment powers to grant any more extensions' of time to amend the complaint." (emphasis added) (citations omitted)). The Clerk is directed to TERMINATE any pending motions and deadlines and to CLOSE this case. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 12/16/2021. (JMB)

See id. Accordingly, the Court STRIKES Plaintiff's complaint. Plaintiff must file an amended complaint complying with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by December 15, 2021, or this action will be dismissed.
