LANDRUM v. STATE (2022)

Javares A. Landrum appeals an order summarily denying his motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Finding no error by the trial court, we affirm.

We write to address Landrum's abuse of process in this Court. Following a jury trial in 2009, Landrum was convicted of robbery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault. His judgment and sentence became final in 2011. Since then, including the current appeal, he has filed nine postconviction petitions and motions in this Court. See Landrum v. State, 94 So. 3d 587 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012) (affirming order denying rule 3.850 motion); Landrum v. State, 109 So. 3d 230 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012) (denying on the merits petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel); Landrum v. State, 128 So. 3d 167 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013) (denying petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel as untimely and successive); Landrum v. State, 141 So. 3d 1204 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (affirming order denying rule 3.800 motion); Landrum v. State, 169 So. 3d 1167 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (affirming order denying rule 3.800 motion); Landrum v. State, 224 So. 3d 214 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (dismissing petition for writ of habeas corpus); Landrum v. State, 235 So. 3d 826 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (affirming order denying rule 3.800 motion); Landrum v. State, 295 So. 3d 904 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020) (dismissing as untimely appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion).

Landrum obtained no relief in any of these cases, and his current appeal is frivolous. Frivolous postconviction appeals burden judicial resources and “serve[ ] no purpose other than to delay resolution of meritorious claims brought by others.” Hall v. State, 94 So. 3d 655, 656 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012). Landrum shall show cause within twenty days why sanctions should not be imposed on him, including a prohibition on further pro se filings in this Court. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999). We also refer this matter to the Department of Corrections for disciplinary action under section 944.279, Florida Statutes (2022).

Affirmed.
