TEXT ORDER denying Plaintiff's #6 Motion for Order Granting Case-Limited CM/ECF Filing Access. The Court declines to make an exception to the general rule that "a pro se litigant is not permitted to file documents in CM/ECF." United States District Court Middle District of Florida, Administrative Procedures for Electronic Filing, p. 3 (April 1, 2024). It does not appear that CM/ECF access is "necessary to avoid unreasonable burdens and to promote access to information." See Hebdon v. Diabetes & Endocrine Ctr. of Fla., P.A., No. 6:22-CV-1879-WWB-DCI, 2023 WL 2186038, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 23, 2023). The Court notes, however, that a member of the public can access electronic filings by registering online with PACER. Signed by Judge John L. Badalamenti on 7/9/2026. (SV)

Filing 4
TEXT ORDER. Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1) is DISMISSED without prejudice as an impermissible shotgun pleading. The Complaint does not "state its claims or defenses in numbered paragraphs, each limited as far as practicable to a single set of circumstances." Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(b). Additionally, the Complaint does not adopt any factual allegations into the individual counts. Embree v. Wyndham Worldwide Corp., 779 F. App'x 658, 662-64 (11th Cir. 2019) (affirming a district court's dismissal of a complaint as a shotgun pleading where it "did not incorporate any of the preceding general allegations into each count"); Johnston v. Anti-Defamation League, No. 6:24-CV-1465-JSS-NWH, 2025 WL 2029744, at *6 (M.D. Fla. July 21, 2025) (dismissing a complaint without prejudice as a shotgun pleading because it "appear[ed] that no count incorporate[d] any of the paragraphs before it, including paragraphs that identify the parties, allege jurisdiction, and contain factual support for the counts"). And none of the counts in the Complaint specify against which defendant they are brought. (See Doc. 1 at 11-13); Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1323 (11th Cir. 2015) (explaining that a complaint "asserting multiple claims against multiple defendants without specifying which of the defendants are responsible for which acts or omissions, or which of the defendants the claim is brought against" is a shotgun pleading). Accordingly, Plaintiff's #1 Complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice and Plaintiff's #2 Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and #3 Motion for Leave to File Electronically are DENIED as moot. 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. No additional claims may be raised in any amended complaint. 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. Signed by Judge John L. Badalamenti on 6/22/2026. (SV)
