Discussion The Court must determine whether: (1) Giscombe eliminated the deficiencies of his previous shotgun pleading, and (2) if so, whether the complaint should be dismissed for the other reasons asserted by ABN, Citimortgage, and Wells Fargo in their motions to dismiss. A. Legal Standard The sufficiency of Giscombe’s amended complaint depends on whether it is a shotgun pleading; if so, it will fall short of the pleading requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 8. Magluta v.

(Docket No. 897 at 48-49.) Numerous other instances illustrated Michel’s penchant for placing the blame on others. Succinctly stated, the record from the evidentiary hearing leads the court to only one finding specifically, that Michel’s testimony is not credible. b. Presumption of propriety in favor of court interpreter However, a more important factor supporting this court’s finding of incredibility emanates from a presumption that a court interpreter translates communications with propriety, accuracy, and integrity.
