Stewart v. Dixon
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court held that Petitioner had abused the Court's limited resources and will continue to burden the Court's resources if no action is taken and that the habeas petition filed in this case was a frivolous proceeding brought before the Court by a state prisoner, thus sanctioning Petitioner.
In this case before the Court on Petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition as unauthorized and held that Petitioner failed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. Therefore, the Supreme Court directed the Clerk of 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.
