IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT

STATE OF FLORIDA,

________________________________/

Opinion filed October 27, 2022

Petition for Writ of Mandamus, Heidi Davis, Respondent Judge.

Donald Otis Williams, Raiford, pro se.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Douglas T. Squire, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Due to Petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive,

repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filings attacking his judgment and

sentence in Lake County Circuit Court Case No. 2011-CF-105, this Court issued an order directing Petitioner to show cause why he should not be

prohibited from future pro se filings. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47,

48 (Fla. 1999). Having carefully considered the response and finding the

response fails to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed, we

conclude that Petitioner is abusing the judicial process and should be barred

from further pro se filings.

Therefore, in order to conserve judicial resources, the Clerk of this

Court is directed not to accept any further pro se filings concerning the above

referenced case. Any future filings regarding the referenced case will be

summarily rejected by the Clerk 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.”). The Clerk is further directed to forward a

certified copy of this opinion to the appropriate institution for consideration of

disciplinary proceedings. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2022); Simpkins v.

State, 909 So. 2d 427, 428 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005).

FUTURE PRO SE FILINGS PROHIBITED.
