JUDGMENT
In accordance with the order entered on this date, it is hereby ORDERED,
ADJUDGED, and DECREED that this action be DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE, prior to service of process, because Diamond has failed to state a §
1983 claim against the Mobile Housing Board, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). It is
further ORDERED that Plaintiff is extended leave to file an amended complaint by
not later than April 10, 2020, see Butler v. Morgan, 562 Fed.Appx. 832, 835 (11th
Cir. Apr. 3, 2014) (finding that a district court must grant a plaintiff at least one
opportunity to amend his complaint before dismissal, even if the plaintiff never
seeks leave to amend, if it appears that the filing of an amended complaint might
cure noted deficiencies); however, Plaintiff is specifically cautioned that he must
supply additional information to satisfy this Court that he has a plausible claim for
relief against the Mobile Housing Authority.
DONE and ORDERED this 27th day of March, 2020.
