PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Amatulah v. Palmier, 417 So. 3d 495, 496 (Fla. 3d DCA 2025) (affirming dismissal of a pro se complaint filed by this same appellant, observing: "It is a cardinal rule of pleading that a complaint be stated simply, in short and plain language. The complaint must set out the elements and the facts that support them so that the court and the defendant can clearly determine what is being alleged[.]" (quoting Barrett v. City of Margate, 743 So. 2d 1160, 1162-63 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999))); Collado v. Baroukh, 226 So. 3d 924, 927 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017) (“Commingling various claims against all defendants together may also warrant dismissal of a complaint."); Alvarez v. DeAguirre, 395 So. 2d 213, 216 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981) (“While the policy in Florida is to liberally allow amendments to pleadings where justice so requires, a trial judge in the exercise of sound discretion may deny further amendments where a case has progressed to a point that liberality ordinarily to be indulged has diminished.") (citations omitted); P.B. v. Dep't of Child. & Fam. Servs., 709 So. 2d 590, 591 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (“We do not consider the question of adequate notice because Appellants did not object to the lack of notice in the proceedings below or request a continuance. The first time they raised the issue was on appeal. By failing to object and by proceeding on the matter at the hearing, Appellants waived their objections to the lack of notice.").
