MARTIN v. STATE (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Sixth District.

Maria Navarro MARTIN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 6D2024-2218

Decided: July 10, 2026

Maria Navarro Martin, Pompano Beach, pro se. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Whitney Brown Hartless, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Maria Navarro Martin seeks to appeal several orders; however, her appeal is timely as to only one of them—the trial court's order barring all future pro se filings. We find no merit in the arguments Martin raises on appeal directed to that order. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48-49 (Fla. 1999) (recognizing that issuance of order to show cause satisfies litigant's due process rights of notice and opportunity to respond). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal insofar as it is untimely, and we affirm the trial court's order barring future pro se filings.

AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.

WOZNIAK, J.

GANNAM and PRATT, JJ., concur.
