Filing 5
ENDORSED ORDER dismissing action without prejudice because the earlier Order 3 dismissing 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, 719-22 (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." (citations omitted)). The Clerk is directed to ENTER JUDGMENT, which shall read "This action is dismissed without prejudice," TERMINATE any pending motions and deadlines, and to CLOSE this case. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/22/2025. (PBH)

Filing 3
ENDORSED ORDER: Upon review, the Court finds that the 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, it is replete with "vague" and "conclusory" factual allegations. Id. at 1322. The plaintiff identifies several causes of action but does not explain how her allegations relate to those causes of action, and she makes conclusory legal assertions throughout her complaint. Compl. She also names "John/Jane Does 1-30" as defendants but makes no allegations regarding those defendants. This complaint fails to give the defendants "adequate notice of the claims against them and the grounds upon which" they rest. Weiland, 792 F.3d at 1322. Accordingly, the plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED. The #2 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is DENIED as moot. The plaintiff is granted leave to amend her complaint and file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis no later than August 19, 2025. Failure to amend her complaint or submitting another shotgun pleading may result in this action being dismissed without further notice. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/5/2025. (KMP)
