IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT DONALD OTIS WILLIAMS, Petitioner, v. Case No. 5D22-1163 LT Case No. 2011-CF-105 STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. ________________________________/ Opinion filed October 28, 2022 Petition for Certiorari Review of Order from the Circuit Court for Lake County, Heidi Davis, Judge. Donald Otis Williams, Raiford, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Patrick A. Bobek, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent. PER CURIAM. This Court previously denied Petitioner’s petition for Writ of Certiorari. Due to Petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filing attaching his judgment and sentence in Lake County Fifth Judicial Circuit case number No. 2011- CF105, this Court issued an order directing Petitioner to show cause why he should not be prohibited from future pro se filings. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999). Petitioner’s response is insufficient and failed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. Therefore, we conclude that Petitioner is abusing the judicial process and should be barred from further pro se filings. In order to conserve judicial resources, Petitioner is prohibited from filing with this Court any further pro se pleadings concerning his conviction and sentence imposed in Lake County Fifth Judicial Circuit case number No. 2011- CF-105. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any filings concerning this case unless they are filed by a member in good standing with 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. (2022); Simpkins v. State, 909 So. 2d 427, 428 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005). SANCTIONS IMPOSED. PETITIONER PROHIBITED FROM FUTURE FILINGS. WALLIS, EDWARDS and HARRIS, JJ., concur. 2
