Jenkins, Appellant, vs. Motorola, Inc., et al., Appellees. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Amy Steele Donner, Judge. Oza B. Jenkins, in proper person. Shook, Hardy & Bacon, and John M. Barkett and Daniel B. Rogers, for appellees. Before SHEPHERD, SUAREZ, and CORTIÃ AS, JJ. SHEPHERD, J. The trial court s December 13, 2010, order denying Oza B. Jenkins request for payment, is affirmed. Appellee s, Motorola, Inc., and Cingular, Inc., motion for sanctions pursuant to section 57.105, Florida Statutes, (2011), for filing a frivolous appeal is granted. We remand to the trial court for an award to Motorola, Inc. of its attorney fees and costs incurred on this appeal. Appellant, Oza Jenkins, is ordered to show cause, within twenty days of the date of this opinion, why she should not be barred from filing further pro se proceedings in this Court arising out of lower tribunal case number 04-1420.1 See Sibley v. Sibley, 885 So. 2d 980 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980). Motorola, Inc. is invited to respond within ten days thereafter. 1 The following is a partial list of the meritless filings by Jenkins in this Court: Jenkins v. Motorola, Inc., 23 So. 3d 726 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (affirming); Jenkins v. Motorola, Inc., 994 So. 2d 1253, 1254 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (affirming trial court s order in all respects and reaffirming the trial court s directive that Jenkins file no further motions in this action without the prior approval of the trial court ); Jenkins v. Motorola, Inc., 986 So. 2d 613 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008) (table) (denying petition for writ of certiorari filed by Jenkins); Jenkins v.
