Filing 5
TEXT ORDER dismissing action without prejudice because the earlier Order (Doc. 3) dismissing the Complaint 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)). Accordingly, Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1) is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment accordingly, terminate any pending deadlines and motions, and close the file. Signed by Judge John L. Badalamenti on 6/11/2026. (SV)

Filing 3
TEXT ORDER. Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1) is DISMISSED as an impermissible shotgun pleading. The Complaint does not include "a short and plain statement of the claim[s] showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a). Nor does the Amended Complaint "state its claims... in numbered paragraphs, each limited as far as practicable to a single set of circumstances...." Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(b). Indeed, the Complaint fails to make any claims whatsoever. (See id. at 4). Plaintiff shall have leave to file an amended complaint. Should Plaintiff do so, Plaintiff must file such within fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2) ("The court should freely give leave when justice so requires."); Silberman v. Miami Dade Transit, 927 F.3d 1123, 1132 (11th Cir. 2019) ("A pro se plaintiff must be given at least one chance to amend the complaint before the district court dismisses the action with prejudice[.]"). Failure to timely file an amended complaint may result in the dismissal of this action without further notice. Accordingly, Plaintiff's #2 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is DENIED as moot. Signed by Judge John L. Badalamenti on 5/19/2026. (SV)
