Affirmed. See Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.150 (providing that the trial court may strike sham pleadings); Cromer v. Mullally, 861 So.2d 523, 525 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003) (stating that a pleading is considered a sham "when it is inherently false and clearly known to be false at the time the pleading was made"); Ader v.
