Opinion filed October 10, 2016.
Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus -- Original Jurisdiction.
Anthony W. Broom, pro se, Petitioner.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondents.
PER CURIAM.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed. See Baker v. State, 878 So.
2d 1236 (Fla. 2004).
Because this was the tenth petition for writ of habeas corpus filed in this court to
challenge petitioner’s 1981 conviction in Polk County Circuit Court case number 81-
1860, petitioner was directed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed
against him, including a prohibition against any future appeals or petitions challenging
the judgment and sentence, unless petitioner is represented by an attorney in good
standing with The Florida Bar. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999).
Petitioner’s response fails to present a legal reason why sanctions should not be
imposed.
As such, because it is apparent that petitioner’s continued and repeated attacks
on his conviction and sentence have become an abuse of the legal process, we hold that
he is barred from future pro se filings in this court concerning Polk County Circuit
Court case number 81-1860. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any
future filings concerning this case unless they are signed by a member in good standing
of The Florida Bar.
B.L. THOMAS, WETHERELL, and WINSOR, JJ., CONCUR.
