MICHAEL WILLIS,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, JULIE L.
JONES, Secretary, FLA. DEPT. OF
CORRECTIONS,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County.
Wesley R. Douglas, Judge.
October 18, 2018
PER CURIAM.
This court issued an order on August 24, 2018, directing
Appellant to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed
against him in view of his having instituted numerous repetitive,
meritless proceedings in this court. See State v. Spencer, 751 So.
2d 47 (Fla. 1999). We have reviewed Appellant’s response and
determined it does not provide a legal basis to justify withholding
imposition of sanctions.
Appellant is hereby prohibited from filing any pro se filings in
this Court challenging his conviction and sentence imposed in
Columbia County case number 2017-193-CA. The Clerk of this
Court is directed to not accept any filings in this case unless they
are signed by a member in good standing of the Florida Bar.
Additionally, we find this appeal is a frivolous proceeding
brought before this Court by a state prisoner. See § 944.279(1), Fla.
Stat. (2017). We direct the clerk to forward a certified copy of this
opinion to the appropriate institution or facility within the Florida
Department of Corrections for disciplinary procedures pursuant to
department rules.
B.L. THOMAS, C.J., and OSTERHAUS and BILBREY, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
