Hickmon v. Jones
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court found that Petitioner failed to show cause why he should not be barred from filing further pro se filings in this court and directed the clerk of the court to reject any future pleadings or other requests for relief submitted by Petitioner unless such filings were signed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar.
In 2006, Petitioner was convicted of several criminal offenses and sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment. The court of appeal affirmed. Since then, Petitioner demonstrated a pattern of vexatious filing of meritless pro se requests for relief in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court dismissed the instant petition for writ of habeas corpus filed in 2017 as unauthorized pursuant to Baker v. State, 878 So. 2d 1236 (Fla. 2004), and expressly retained jurisdiction to consider the imposition of sanctions. The court subsequently determined that Petitioner had abused this court’s limited judicial resources, sanctioned Petitioner, and found the petition filed in this case was a frivolous proceeding filed by a state prisoner.
