IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT DONALD OTIS WILLIAMS, Petitioner, v. Case No. 5D21-1314 LT Case No. 2000-CF-2130 STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. ________________________/ Opinion filed October 1, 2021 Petition for Writ of Mandamus, Heidi Davis, Respondent Judge. Donald Otis Williams, Raiford, pro se. No Appearance for Respondent. PER CURIAM. Due to Petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filings attacking various orders in Lake County Circuit Court Case Number 2000-CF-2130, 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, 48 (Fla. 1999). Having carefully considered the Response and finding it fails to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed, we conclude that he is abusing the judicial process and should be barred from further pro se filings. Therefore, in order to conserve judicial resources, Petitioner is prohibited from filing with this Court any further pro se filings concerning the above referenced case. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any further pro se filings concerning the referenced case. Any future filings regarding the referenced case will be summarily rejected by the Clerk, unless filed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. See Isley v. State, 652 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“Enough is enough.”). FUTURE PRO SE FILINGS PROHIBITED. COHEN, TRAVER and WOZNIAK, JJ., concur. 2
