Case Explained: Non-Argument Calendar IZIK ALIYA v. STATE OF FLORIDA DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FOURTH DISTRICT BROWARD COUNTY UNIFIED FAMILY COURT 17th Judicial Circuit Court CHIEF JUDGE OF THE 17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Filed: 2026-06-04 Docket: 0:24-cv-62147-DSL The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal without prejudice of Izik Aliya’s civil rights complaint, ruling that the filing constituted an impermissible “shotgun pleading” and that amendment would be futile. The court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding the 47-page complaint violated Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) and 10(b) because it failed to separate causes of action, asserted multiple claims against 26 defendants without specifying which defendant was responsible for which acts, and contained unnumbered paragraphs filled with conclusory, vague allegations not connected to specific counts. The court further agreed that allowing amendment would be futile because the underlying claims were barred by sovereign immunity, judicial immunity, prosecutorial immunity, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, Younger abstention, and the domestic relations exception, meaning a more carefully drafted complaint could not state a valid claim. As a practical consequence, the dismissal without prejudice allows Aliya to refile a complaint, provided he can overcome the substantive legal bars identified by the district court.
