v.                                    Case No. 5D22-1054
                                      LT Case No. 05-1996-CF-0290551-C

Opinion filed August 19, 2022

3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court
for Brevard County,
Samuel Bookhardt, Judge.

Jermaine Lewis, Orlando, pro se.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee,
and Kaylee D. Tatman, Assistant Attorney
General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

     Due to Appellant’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive,

repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filings attacking his judgment and

sentence in Brevard County Circuit Court Case Number 05-1996-CF-

0290551-C, this Court issued an order directing Appellant to show cause
why he should not be prohibited from future pro se filings. See State v.

Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999). Having carefully considered the

response and finding it fails to show cause why sanctions should not be

imposed, we conclude that Appellant is abusing the judicial process and

should be barred from further pro se filings.

      In order to conserve judicial resources, Appellant is prohibited from

filing with this Court any further pro se filings concerning Brevard County

Circuit Court Case No. 05-1996-CF-0290551-C. The Clerk of this Court is

directed not to accept any further pro se filings concerning the referenced

case. The Clerk will summarily reject any future filings regarding the

referenced case unless filed by a member in good standing of The Florida

Bar. See Isley v. State, 652 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“Enough

is enough.”). The Clerk is further directed to forward a certified copy of this

opinion to the appropriate institution for consideration of disciplinary

proceedings. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2019); Simpkins v. State, 909 So.

2d 427, 428 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005).

      FUTURE PRO SE FILINGS PROHIBITED.

LAMBERT, C.J., COHEN and TRAVER, JJ., concur.
