June 29, 2023 Filing 5 AMENDED COMPLAINT against Equifax Information Services LLC, Experian Information Solutions Inc., Southwest Credit Systems, L.P., Trans Union LLC with Jury Demand. filed by Wally Ramos. Related document: #1 Complaint filed by Wally Ramos.(Simil, Jennifer)
June 29, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ENDORSED ORDER: Upon review, the Court finds that this #1 complaint constitutes an impermissible shotgun pleading. See Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1320 (11th Cir. 2015). Specifically, count VIII improperly "incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-148 of th[e] Complaint." Compl. (Doc. 1) p. 149. The result is that count VIII fully incorporates counts I-VII, which themselves sometimes incorporate preceding counts. Id. pp. 45, 83, 121, 131; Weiland, 792 F.3d at 1321 ("The most common type [of shotgun pleading]--by a long shot--is a complaint containing multiple counts where each count adopts the allegations of all preceding counts, causing each successive count to carry all that came before and the last count to be a combination of the entire complaint."). Thus, Ramos's complaint is DISMISSED, and he is granted leave to file an amended complaint no later than July 6, 2023. If 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 6/29/2023. (ZG)
