Docket No. 2:20-cv-01058-RAH-SMD ____________________ Before ROSENBAUM, LAGOA, and BRASHER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Stacy Terry, proceeding pro se, appeals from the district court’s order dismissing her second amended complaint as an impermissible shotgun pleading and for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Because Terry makes no arguments in her opening brief related to these two reasons that the district court gave for dismissing her second amended complaint, Terry has abandoned any challenge to those dispositive rulings by the district court. See Timson v. Sampson, 518 F.3d 870, 874 (11th Cir. 2008) (“[I]ssues not briefed USCA11 Case: 22-13004 22-13004 Document: 39-1 Date Filed: 07/11/2023 Opinion of the Court Page: 3 of 3 3 on appeal by a pro se litigant are deemed abandoned.”). Terry’s failure to challenge the district court’s dispositive rulings necessitates that we affirm the district court’s judgment. See Sapuppo v. Allstate Floridian Ins. Co., 739 F.3d 678, 680 (11th Cir. 2014) (“When an appellant fails to challenge properly on appeal one of the grounds on which the district court based its judgment, he is deemed to have abandoned any challenge of that ground, and it follows that the judgment is due to be affirmed.”). Accordingly, the district court is AFFIRMED.
