Samuel GARDNER, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 1D15-3851.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Nov. 13, 2015.
    Rehearing Denied Dec. 17, 2015.
    Samuel Gardner, pro se, Petitioner.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Samuel Gardner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging his conviction and-sentence entered nearly thirty years ago in Leon County Circuit Court case number 1986-CF-001709. We dismiss the petition. See Baker v. State, 878 So.2d 1236 (Fla.2004) (habeas corpus cannot be used to litigate issues that could have been or were raised on direct appeal or in postconviction motions).

Gardner has failed to obtain relief in at least eleven cases he filed in this court to challenge this judgment and sentence. This court has already dismissed three, of his petitions for writ of habeas corpus under Baker,- most recently just last year. See Gardner v. Crews, 135 So.3d 418 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014); Gardner v. State, 26 So.3d 33 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009); Gardner v. State, 991 So.2d 941 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008). Accordingly, we ordered petitioner, 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). Petitioner’s response to the show cause order does not provide a legal basis to prohibit the iniposition of sanctions.

Therefore, because petitioner’s repeated attacks on his judgment and sentence have become an abuse of the legal process, we hold that he is barred fi"om future pro se filings in the court, concerning Leon County Circuit Court case number 1986-CF-00Í709. 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.

DISMISSED.
