PER CURIAM.

Frank DePinto appeals an order declaring him to be a vexatious litigant and imposing sanctions.

Stat. (2018). DePinto filed nine pro se civil complaints within a two-year period; all were dismissed with prejudice. In determining that DePinto is a vexatious litigant, the trial court did not err.
