June 23, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ENDORSED ORDER: Upon review, the Court finds that Plaintiff's #1 Complaint constitutes an impermissible shotgun pleading. See Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1324 (11th Cir. 2015). Specifically, each count improperly fails to separate into different counts each alleged violation of separate provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. See id. at 1322-23 ("The third type of shotgun pleading is one that commits the sin of not separating into a different count each cause of action or claim for relief."). Each count alleges violations of both 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 15 U.S.C. 1681o in the same count. Accordingly, the Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED, and the Plaintiff is granted leave to amend their complaint no later than June 30, 2023. If the Plaintiff fails to amend the complaint or submits another shotgun pleading, this action will be dismissed without further notice. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 6/23/2023. (MEV)
