Alters v. H.W. Henderson Construction Co.
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 4, 1986 · Barfield, Shivers, Zehmer
489 So. 2d 840; 11 Fla. L. Weekly 1264; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 8194 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Alters v. H.W. Henderson Construction Co.

Opinion of the Court

BARFIELD, Judge.

The trial court dismissed appellants’ nine-count second amended complaint against Henderson Construction, Watson Realty and Campbell. Eight of those counts fail to state a legal cause of action and violate the pleading rules of the Rules of Civil Procedure. Count I does manage to recite the elements of a breach of contract cause of action. However, that count also violates Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.110(b). Appellants’ counsel foreclosed his opportunity to further amend this complaint by requesting a dismissal with prejudice, if the court dismissed the complaint.

Accordingly, the order dismissing all counts of the complaint is AFFIRMED.

SHIVERS and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
