Id.; see Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1321 (11th Cir. 2015) ("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."). Accordingly, Plant City's complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice. Plant City must submit an amended complaint no later than August 14, 2023. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/7/2023.
