PHILPOT v. STATE (2019)

Due to Appellant's, Kwesi Philpot, apparent abuse of the legal process by his continued meritless claims regarding his judgment and sentence in Brevard County Circuit Court case number 2007-CF-48580, this Court issued an order directing Appellant 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 found that Appellant has not shown 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, Appellant 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 appeal, petition, pleading or motion pertaining to the conviction and sentence rendered in Brevard County Circuit Court case number 2007-CF-48580. 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.”). The Clerk is further directed to forward a certified copy of this opinion to the appropriate institution for consideration of disciplinary proceedings. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2018); Simpkins v. State, 909 So. 2d 427, 428 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005).

FURTHER PRO SE FILINGS PROHIBITED.

PER CURIAM.
