Brown v. State

Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed November 30, 2016. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D16-176 Lower Tribunal No. 94-21101 ________________ David Lee Brown, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Teresa Mary Pooler, Judge. David Lee Brown, in proper person. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Linda S. Katz, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before SUAREZ, C.J., and LAGOA and SALTER, JJ. PER CURIAM. We affirm without discussion the trial court’s order prohibiting David Lee Brown from filing further pro se pleadings, motions, or petitions challenging his conviction and sentence in case number F94-21101. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Further, David Lee Brown has filed numerous postconviction appeals regarding his conviction and sentence in lower tribunal case number F94-21101. Our preliminary review of those prior postconviction proceedings evidences that David Lee Brown has engaged in the filing of appeals on claims that were successive, time-barred, or otherwise wholly without merit. We therefore order David Lee Brown, within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, to file a response and to show cause why this court should not prohibit him from submitting further pro se appeals, petitions, motions or other pleadings regarding case number F94-21101, unless such pleadings are signed by an attorney who is a duly licensed member of The Florida Bar in good standing. 2
