Lawton v. State

37 So. 3d 903, 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 6961, 2010 WL 1794166

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the denial of appellant’s four postconviction motions. However, the lower court also entered an order barring any further pro se pleadings. If a court wishes to bar a defendant from filing further pro se motions, it must issue a show cause order to provide the defendant with notice and an opportunity to respond. See State v. Spencer, 751 So.2d 47 (Fla.1999). Accordingly, we reverse the lower court’s order barring pro se pleadings, and remand for the court to comply with' the requirements of Spencer.

AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, and REMANDED.
