May 3, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER dismissing without prejudice Plaintiffs #1 Complaint. Plaintiffs Complaint is a shotgun pleading. Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriffs Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1320-21 (11th Cir. 2015). Specifically, six of the seven causes of action incorporate allegations found in the preceding cause of action, "leading to a situation where most of the counts (i.e., all but the first) contain irrelevant factual allegations and legal conclusions." Strategic Income Fund, L.L.C. v. Spear, Leeds & Kellogg Corp., 305 F.3d 1293, 1295 (11th Cir. 2002); Magluta v. Samples, 256 F.3d 1282, 1284 (11th Cir. 2001). This is a technical, yet significant, error which requires dismissal. Shotgun complaints make it "virtually impossible to know which allegations of fact are intended to support which claim(s) for relief." Anderson v. Dist. Bd. of Trs. of Cent. Fla. Cmty. Coll., 77 F.3d 364, 366 (11th Cir. 1996). As such, shotgun complaints are routinely condemned by the Eleventh Circuit. Plaintiff may file an Amended Complaint within twenty (20) days of this order. Signed by Judge Darrin P. Gayles on 5/3/2023. (mja)
