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

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Respondent.

________________________/

Opinion filed April 8, 2022

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

Eugene Barnes, Orlando, pro se.

No Appearance 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 Marion County Circuit Court Case Number 1999-CF-4040, 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 it 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.

In order to conserve judicial resources, Petitioner is prohibited from

filing with this Court any further pro se filings concerning Marion County

Circuit Court Case No. 1999-CF-4040. The Clerk of this Court is directed not

to accept any further pro se filings concerning the referenced case. 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.”). 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. (2019); Simpkins v. State, 909 So. 2d 427, 428 (Fla. 5th DCA

2005).

FUTURE PRO SE FILINGS PROHIBITED.

WALLIS, HARRIS and TRAVER, JJ., concur.
