Edwards adv Epstein Case No Supplement to Motion for Separate Trials or in the Alternative to Adjust the Order of Proof Supplement Epstein filed his Initial Complaint against Defendant Rothstein on December which pied the following counts against Rothstein a Violation of Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act Violation of Floridas RICO Act Abuse of Process Fraud Conspiracy to Commit Fraud On January a clerks default was entered against Defendant Rothstein as to the Initial Complaint and the five counts listed above see Exhibit A On April Epstein filed an Amended Complaint against Defendant Rothstein The Amended Complaint asserted a single count against Defendant Rothstein Abuse of Process The remaining counts against Rothstein in the Initial Complaint Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act Floridas RICO Act Fraud and Conspiracy to Commit Fraud were abandoned Pursuant to black-letter Florida law the Amended Complaint against Rothstein superseded the Initial Complaint See State Farm Fire Cas Co Higgins So 2d Fla 4th DCA approved So 2d Fla An amended complaint supersedes an earlier pleading where it does not express an intention to save any portion of the original pleading internal quotations omitted accord Downtown Investments Ltd Segall So 2d Fla 3d DCA Moreover the Initial Complaint against Rothstein was not only superseded but cease to be a part of the record in Epsteins case against him Babb Lincoln Auto Finance So 2d Fla 3d DCA emphasis added Edwards adv Epstein Case No Supplement to Motion for Separate Trials or in the Alternative to Adjust the Order of Proof Thus although a tenuous argument remained that the clerks default applied to the Abuse of Process claim that was re-pied the clerks default as to the four abandoned counts in an inoperative pleading that was no longer part of the record was now a nullity On August Epstein filed a Second Amended Complaint against Defendant Rothstein In his Second Amended Complaint which supersedes the Amended Complaint Epstein abandoned his Abuse of Process claim against Rothstein and instead asserted a brand-new count Conspiracy to Commit Abuse of Process Thus Epstein had now abandoned every count pied in the Initial Complaint to which the clerks default applied The clerks default was rendered a nullity No default has been entered against Rothstein as to the Second Amended Complaint which is the operative pleading against that party and the brand-new Conspiracy to Commit Abuse of Process count contained therein Moreover even if Epstein were to proceed without a default as to liability the Second Amended Complaint has not been noticed for trial Pursuant to Rule the Court may not set Epsteins Conspiracy to Commit Abuse of Process case for trial against Rothstein without first entering an order fixing the date for that trial which shall be set not less than days from the service of the notice for trial Given that the damages being sought by Epstein against Rothstein for Conspiracy to Commit Abuse of Process are unliquidated it would be reversible error for the Court to permit Epstein to try his case against Rothstein on March th Wells Fargo Bank Nat Assn Sawh So 3d Fla 3d DCA The setting of unliquidated damages without the required notice and without proof is regarded as fundamental error Edwards adv Epstein Case No Supplement to Motion for Separate Trials or in the Alternative to Adjust the Order of Proof Conclusion Thus in addition to the reasons set forth in Edwards Motion to Separate Trials et al the Court should grant that Motion for the reasons stated above I HEREBY CERTIFY that a true and correct copy of the foregoing was sent via E-Serve to all Counsel on the attached list this 2nd day of March Isl Davia Yita Tr JACK
