IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA
ROY LYNN FOREHAND,
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO
Appellant, FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND
DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED
v.
CASE NO. 1D16-2580
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________/
Opinion filed December 12, 2016.
An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Bay County.
Brantley S. Clark, Judge.
Roy Lynn Forehand, pro se, Appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
We previously affirmed the summary denial of the appellant’s postconviction
motion brought pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), but
retained jurisdiction for consideration of the imposition of sanctions.
The appellant has failed to obtain relief in at least nine cases he filed in this
court to challenge this judgment and sentence. This is his fifth postconviction motion
challenging the scoring of his prior conviction for murder. Accordingly, we ordered
the appellant to show cause why he should not be prohibited from future pro se
filings challenging this judgment and sentence. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47,
48 (Fla. 1999). The appellant’s response to the show cause order does not provide a
legal basis to prohibit the imposition of sanctions.
Therefore, because the appellant’s repeated attacks on his judgment and
sentence have become an abuse of the legal process, we hold that he is barred from
future pro se filings in the court concerning Bay County Circuit Court case number
1986-CF-1247. The Clerk of the Court is directed not to accept any future filings
concerning this case unless they are filed by a member in good standing of The
Florida Bar.
