Opinion filed May 19, 2023

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Donald A. Williams, Lake City, pro se. Cedric Warren, Lake City, pro se.

No Appearance for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

The petition is dismissed with prejudice. See Durocher v. Singletary,

623 So. 2d 482 (Fla. 1993); Pancoast v. Crews, 128 So. 3d 815 (Fla. 1st

DCA 2013). In accordance with State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla.1999), Cedric

Warren is hereby barred from filing any pleading or permitting anybody to file

any pleading on his behalf in this Court in any action, case, or matter, unless

signed by a member of the Florida Bar. Mr. Warren has repeatedly filed

frivolous pleadings and has been Spencer banned previously in the

underlying Volusia County Circuit Court Case No. 2001-34902-CFAES. By

permitting Donald A. Williams, who is not a member of the Florida Bar, to file

on his behalf, Mr. Warren has violated this Court’s previous Spencer ban

order. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any filings from or on

behalf of Cedric Warren except those signed and filed by a member of the

Florida Bar. The Clerk will summarily reject any future filings regarding the

referenced case unless filed by a member in good standing of the Florida

Bar. See Isley v. State, 652 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“Enough

is enough.”).

It is further ordered that the Clerk of our Court forward a copy of this

opinion to the Department of Corrections for appropriate action.

PETITION DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE; PETITIONER SANCTIONED.

EDWARDS, HARRIS and SOUD, JJ., concur.
