| 11 | 11 ENDORSED ORDER: Tyco Fire Products' and Chemguard's 6 Corporate Disclosure Statement fails to meet the standards this Court requires to effectively screen cases for potential conflicts. The Court requires parties to disclose "ownership however small of a party's shares or stock," not simply those whose ownership constitutes 10% or more. See (Doc. 5 ) at 8. Tyco Fire Products and Chemguard must file a new statement using the form attached to the 5 Civil Case Order (also available on the undersigned's website) by August 14, 2023. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/7/2023. (JMP) [Transferred from Florida Middle on 8/25/2023.] | |
| 10 | 10 ENDORSED ORDER: The 5 Civil Case Order requires the parties to submit a notice of related actions and corporate disclosure statements within fourteen days after appearing. Plant City fails to submit a corporate disclosure statement, and the parties fail to submit a notice of related actions. The parties must submit the requisite documents no later than August 14, 2023. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 8/7/2023. (JMP) [Transferred from Florida Middle on 8/25/2023.] | |
| 9 | 9 ENDORSED ORDER: Plant City's complaint, (Doc. 1-1), is a shotgun pleading because Counts II through VII "reallege[] and reaffirm[] all allegations set forth in the preceding paragraphs." 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. (JMP) [Transferred from Florida Middle on 8/25/2023.] | |
