                  _____________________________

BENJAMIN MONTGOMERY,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                  _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
Thomas V. Dannheisser, Judge.

                         February 4, 2019

PER CURIAM.

     Benjamin Montgomery challenges the trial court’s denial of
his motion for postconviction relief. The trial court determined
that Montgomery’s motion was untimely, successive, and an
abuse of process. We agree, and caution Montgomery that
repetitive, malicious, or frivolous filings in this Court will result
in sanctions such as a bar on pro se filing in this Court or referral
to prison officials for disciplinary proceedings, which may include
forfeiture of gain time. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla.
1999); § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat (2018).

    AFFIRMED.

ROWE, RAY, and OSTERHAUS, JJ., concur.
                _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________

Benjamin Montgomery, pro se, Appellant.
