Behnke and Michelle Sisco, Judges. Julius J. Halyard, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Brandon Christian and Bilal A. Faruqui, Assistant Attorneys General, Tampa, for Appellee. Case No. 2D13-3876 Case No. 2D14-181 CONSOLIDATED PER CURIAM. Julius J. Halyard appeals two orders denying postconviction motions. We have consolidated these appeals for the purpose of issuing this opinion because the postconviction motions in both appeals challenge Mr. Halyard's conviction for soliciting lewd or lascivious conduct, which resulted from his conduct in 2005. This court affirmed his direct appeal seven years ago in Halyard v. State, 982 So. 2d 695 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008) (Hillsborough County Circuit Criminal Case Number 06-CF-2787). We affirm without comment the postconviction orders that are the subject of these appeals. Mr. Halyard has had at least six previously decided, unsuccessful proceedings in this court arising from this criminal case or from civil actions that he has initiated against various parties connected to this criminal case. None of these proceedings has had merit. Although in these two appeals we did not issue orders to show why this court should not direct the clerk to reject such pleadings, see State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48-49 (Fla. 1999), Mr. Halyard is cautioned that in any future pro se proceeding commenced in this court related to this criminal conviction, we will first review the matter to determine whether an order to show cause should be issued. See Casey v. State, 158 So. 3d 667 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014). Affirmed. ALTENBERND, NORTHCUTT, and LaROSE, JJ., Concur -2-
