Otis D. Blaxton, an inmate in state custody, filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus with this Court.1 His petition in this case is the twenty-first extraordinary writ petition or notice he has filed with this Court since 2008. We denied Blaxton’s petition in this case and expressly retained jurisdiction to pursue possible sanctions against him based upon the volume of his meritless and inappropriate filings. Blaxton v. State, No. SC15-1307 (Fla. Order Filed Sept. 10, 2016) (order denying mandamus relief and directing Blaxton to show cause why pro se filing restrictions should not be imposed); see *217also Fla. R.App. P. 9.410(a) (Sanctions; Court’s Motion). ■ ■
The Thirteenth Judicial' Circuit Court, in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, initially sentencéd Blaxton as a youthful offender to concurrent terms of 44.25 months’ incarceration for robbery convictions in case numbers 98-CF-5646 and 99-CF-22563 with a recommendation that he complete a “boot camp” program. Upon completion of a boot camp program, Blax-ton’s sentences were modified to' concurrent terms of forty-four months’ probation. Subsequently, Blaxton violated his probation, and the circuit court sentenced him to serve 364 days of jail time followed by forty-four months of continued probation. Upon review, the' Second District Court of Appeal struck the extended period of probation. See Blaxton v. State, 868 So.2d 620 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004).
In 2004, Blaxton was convicted of escape in case number 04-CF-2760 in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court, in and for Hillsborough County, Florida, and sentenced to an additional thirty years of imprisonment. On November 16, 2005, the Second District Court of Appeal per curiam -affirmed Blaxton’s conviction and sentence for escape. - See Blaxton v. State, Case No. 2D04-5536 (Fla. 2d DCA Nov. 16, 2005). During his thirty-year prison term, Blaxton was twice convicted of battery against a law enforcement officer in case numbers 06-CF-5189 and 11-CF-572A, which .added forty-eight months and fifty months,. respectively, to his thirty-year sentence.
Blaxton began filing with this Court in 2008. Since that time, he has filed twenty additional extraordinary writ petitions or notices.2 All of his filings have pertained to his convictions and sentences in circuit court case numbers 99-CF-22563, 04-CF-2760, 06-CF-5189, and 11-CF-572A, and have been frivolous, devoid of merit, or inappropriate for consideration by this Court. We have never granted Blaxton the relief sought by him in any of his filings.
Blaxton’s mandamus petition in this case simply continues his pattern of filing frivolous and meritless pro se requests for relief. In' it, Blaxton sought to compel the *218State to convene a grand jury to review his incarceration. The .petition did not satisfy the basic requirements for the issuance of a writ of mandamus. See Huffman v. State, 813 So.2d 10, 11 (Fla.2000) (“In order to be entitled to a writ of mandamus the petitioner must have a-clear legal right to the requested relief, the respondent must have an indisputable legal duty to perform the requested action, and the petitioner must have no other adequate remedy available.”). We denied .the petition and, in accordance with State v. Spencer, 751 So.2d. 47 (Fla.1999), directed Blaxton to show cause why he should not be barred from filing any future pro se requests for relief and referred to the Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) for. possible disciplinary action pursuant to section 944.279, Florida Statutes.
Blaxton filed a response to the order to show cause and a motion seeking rehearing on our September 10, 2015, order. In his response, Blaxton claims that section 944.279, Florida Statutes, does not apply to criminal or collateral criminal proceedings and that he should not be referred to the DOC for possible disciplinary action. While section 944.279, Florida Statutes, does not apply to criminal proceedings, it does apply to “frivolous or malicious collateral criminal proceeding[s].” § 944.279(1), (2), Fla. Stat. (2015). Therefore, the Court may refer this opinion to the DOC, which' has the authority to impose disciplinary actions, against Blaxton for his frivolous filings seeking to collaterally attack his convictions and sentences. See Isom v. State, 43 So.3d 776 (Fla. 5th DCA2010).
In his motion for rehearing, Blax-ton improperly presents the same challenges to his convictions and sentences that he initially presented in his mandamus petition in this case. See Fla, R.App. P. 9.330. Moreover, neither Blaxton’s response to the show cause order nor his motion for rehearing contain a justification for his use or any expressions of remorse for his repeated misuse of this Court’s limited judicial resources. Based on his substantial filing history, it is likely that, if left unrestrained, Blaxton will continue to inundate this Court with frivolous or mer-itless requests for relief. We therefore deny Blaxton’s motion and conclude that he has failed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed against him for his repeated misuse of this Court’s limited judicial resources. We further conclude that the petition filed by Otis D. Blaxton in this case is a frivolous proceeding brought before this Court'by a state prisoner. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2015).
Accordingly, the Clerk of this Court is hereby directed to reject any future pleadings or other requests for relief submitted by Otis D. Blaxton that pertain to case numbers 99-CF-22563, 04-CF-2760, 06-CF-5189, and 11-CF-572A, unless such filings are signed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. Under the sanction herein imposed, Blaxton may only petition the Court about his convictions or sentences in case numbers 99-CF-22563, 04-CF-2760, 06-CF-5189, and 11-CF-572A through the assistance of counsel whenever such counsel determines that the proceeding may have merit and can be filed in good faith.3 Further, because we have found Blaxton’s petitions to be frivo*219lous, we direct the Clerk of this Court, pursuant to section 944.279(1), Florida Statutes, to forward a certified copy of this opinion to the DOC institution or facility where Blaxton is incarcerated.4
