Carlos Lorenzo JACKSON, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.
On December 4, 2019, this court issued an order directing Carlos Lorenzo Jackson to show cause why he should not be prohibited from filing further pro se appeals, motions or other pleadings related to Eleventh Judicial Circuit court case number F77-34723. Jackson timely filed his response on January 21, 2020. Upon consideration of the response, we conclude that Jackson has failed to show sufficient good cause to convince us to allow him to continue to file pro se appeals, petitions, motions or other pleadings in case number F77-34723. See State v. Spencer, 751 So.2d 47 (Fla. 1999) and Concepcion v. State, 944 So.2d 1069 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006). We direct the Clerk of the Third District Court of Appeal to refuse to accept any such papers relating to the specified circuit court case number unless they have been reviewed and signed by an attorney who is a duly licensed member of The Florida Bar in good standing. See Whipple v. State, 112 So.3d 540 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013).
Additionally, any such further and unauthorized pro se filings by Jackson may subject him to appropriate sanctions, including the issuance of written findings forwarded to the Department of Corrections for its consideration of disciplinary action, including the forfeiture of gain time. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2017).
PER CURIAM.
