IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA DOUGLAS M. JACKSON RONTARIAN WRIGHT, and NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED. Petitioners, CASE NO. 1D08-5914 v. STATE OF FLORIDA and WALTER A. McNEIL, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections, Respondents. _______________________________/ Opinion filed March 13, 2009. Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus -- Original Jurisdiction. Douglas M. Jackson, Sr., and Rontarian Wright, pro se, Petitioners. Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondents. ORDER IMPOSING SANCTIONS PER CURIAM Douglas M. Jackson, Sr., and another inmate petitioned this court for a writ of habeas corpus, asserting that they were not subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state and that their confinement by the Department of Corrections after sentences were imposed amounted to unconstitutional kidnapping. The habeas corpus petition was denied on the merits. Jackson v. State, case number 1D08-5914 (Fla. 1st DCA Jan. 13, 2009). This court also issued the following order on January 13, 2009: The records of this court reflect that Douglas M. Jackson, Sr., has appeared as appellant or petitioner in this forum 166 times since 1987 and this litigation has substantially interfered with the administration of justice. Mr. Jackson shall therefore show cause within 15 days of date of this order why sanctions, possibly including a prohibition against appearing as a litigant in this court unless represented by counsel, should not be imposed against him. Jackson has not filed a response to this order within the time permitted. We therefore impose the sanction described in the above-referenced order. It is hereby ordered that Douglas M. Jackson, Sr., shall secure the filing of a notice of appearance by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar in all active cases now pending before this court in which he appears as appellant or petitioner within 10 days of the date of this order, failing which such cases shall be subject to dismissal. Further, the clerk of this court is directed to accept no further filings from Jackson; if received they shall be returned to him without filing and with a reference to this order. IT IS SO ORDERED.
