_____________________________/

Opinion filed July 13, 2016.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
J. Scott Duncan, Judge.

John Cirota, pro se, Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Charles R. Mccoy, Senior Assistant Attorney
General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

      We affirm the lower court’s denial of John Cirota’s motion as untimely and

successive, the latest in a string of seven meritless appearances in this Court, each

challenging his conviction and sentence, often on the same grounds. We caution

Cirota that “additional frivolous postconviction appeals or petitions may result in an

order barring him from further pro se filings in this court pertaining to his [2011]
conviction.” See Carroll v. State, 41 Fla. L. Weekly D1066 (Fla. 1st DCA May 3,

2016).

      AFFIRMED.

RAY, MAKAR and OSTERHAUS, JJ., CONCUR.
