WILLIAMS v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Jim WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D20-1808

Decided: November 30, 2020

Jim Williams, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Affirmed. Appellant has filed four postconviction appeals in this Court. In case numbers 1D17-0010, 1D17-3406, and this appeal, this Court dismissed the appeal or affirmed orders denying Appellant postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. And in case number 1D19-1334, this Court affirmed an order denying Appellant postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.

Appellant is warned that any future filings that this Court determines to be frivolous may result in the imposition of sanctions, including a prohibition against any further pro se filings in this Court and a referral to the appropriate institution for disciplinary procedures. See § 944.279, Fla. Stat. (2019) (providing that “[a] prisoner who is found by a court to have brought a frivolous or malicious suit, action, claim, proceeding, or appeal ․ is subject to disciplinary procedures pursuant to the rules of the Department of Corrections”).

I would require Appellant to show cause now why he should not be barred in this court.

Per Curiam.

Rowe and M.K. Thomas, JJ., concur; B.L. Thomas, J., dissents in part with opinion.
