STATE OF FLORIDA

No. 1D18-2688

WARREN R. JOHNSON,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Hamilton County.
Wesley R. Douglas, Judge.
February 18, 2019
PER CURIAM.
Warren R. Johnson was convicted in 2005 of second-degree
murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was
sentenced to fifty years’ imprisonment with a twenty-five-year
mandatory minimum. Since his convictions and sentences became
final, Johnson has filed seven postconviction motions. All seven
have been denied by the postconviction court.
Here, Johnson appeals the trial court’s order summarily
denying his eighth motion for postconviction relief. Johnson
alleged that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to
multiple problems with the jury instructions, for failing to object
to improper comments by the prosecutor, and for failing to convey
a plea offer. The trial court properly denied Johnson’s eighth
postconviction motion as untimely and successive. See Fla. R.
Crim. P. 3.850(b), (h)(2). We, therefore, affirm the trial court’s
order, and, by separate order, direct Johnson to show cause why
he should not be barred from future pro se filings in this Court.
AFFIRMED.
ROWE, BILBREY, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.

Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
