ON ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE This Court issued a Spencer1 show cause order directing the Appellant, Carstarvos Woods, to demonstrate why he should not be barred from filing further pro se challenges to his convictions and sentences in this case. We did so after affirming the denial of Woods' successive pro se motion for postconviction relief his sixth such motion since he was convicted eighteen years ago and his second since he was barred 1 State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999). from further pro se filings by the trial court. We find Woods' response to our show cause order to be unpersuasive and conclude he is abusing the judicial process.

The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any further pro se filings from Woods concerning these cases.
