Plaintiff’s failure to file the required affidavit warrants dismissal of her First Amended Complaint with leave to file another amended complaint that contains the required affidavit and the more definite statement discussed above. CONCLUSION Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint should be dismissed without prejudice, and she should be granted leave to file a second amended complaint that contains a more definite statement and has attached to it the affidavit and report required by 735 ILCS 5/2-622(a). Furthermore, any future amended pleading may not include a Survival Act claim as Plaintiff did not exhaust such a claim prior to bringing suit.
