Theodore GRIFFIN, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 3D15-2550.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    July 13, 2016.
    Theodore Griffin, in proper person.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for respondent.
    Before SHEPHERD, EMAS and FERNANDEZ, JJ.
   FERNANDEZ, J.

Since the circuit court’s conviction and sentence of Theodore Griffin, circuit court case number 11-26509B, Griffin has submitted a direct appeal, a petition for writ of mandamus, two petitions for writ of prohibition, and ten petitions for writ of habeas corpus to this Court. On April 27, 2016, in response to Griffin’s tenth petition for writ of habeas corpus, we denied the petition and ordered Griffin to show cause within thirty (30) days as to why this Court should not prohibit him from submitting further pro se appeals, motions, or petitions relating to circuit court case number 11-26509B. Griffin v. State, No. 3D15-2660, 2016 WL 1708351, at *1 (Fla. 3d DCA Apr. 27, 2016). Griffin did not respond to the order to show cause.

We therefore conclude that Griffin has appropriated enough of this Court’s time and resources without good cause. Griffin is prohibited from submitting further appeals pertaining to case number 11-26509B, unless such pleadings are signed by an attorney who is a duly licensed member of the Florida Bar in good standing. The Clerk of this Court is directed to reject any further pro se filings from Griffin in violation of this prohibition. See Allen v. State, 16 So.3d 152 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009); see also Battie v. State, 117 So.3d 71 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013).
