PER CURIAM.
On September 1, 2021, this court denied Albert M. Robinson's petition for writ of prohibition and issued an order detailing Robinson's initiation of over thirty-five appeals or original proceedings in this court related to Charlotte County Court case number 2014-CC-601; Charlotte County Circuit Court Case numbers 2011-CA-3581, 2014-CA-2242, 2014-CA-2270, 2015-CA-3, and 2019-AP-56; and Sarasota County Circuit Court case numbers 2014-CA-2345, 2014-CA-3977, 2016-CA-556, and 2017-CA-1340.
We noted that Robinson's frequent meritless filings burdened the limited resources of this court and interfered with the resolution of genuine disputes. The order directed Robinson to show cause why this court should not direct the clerk to reject pleadings in this court related to these lower tribunal case numbers unless the filing is related to a pending proceeding or submitted by a licensed Florida attorney. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48–49 (Fla. 1999). Robinson's response failed to satisfy this court's order to show cause. Rather, Robinson's response regurgitates the same meritless arguments he has raised in the prior pleadings before this court.
Accordingly, we direct the clerk of this court to place in an inactive file any original proceedings or notices of appeal filed by Robinson related to the lower tribunal case numbers listed in this order unless the filing is signed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. See id.; Cafaro v. Estate of Wyllins, 164 So. 3d 146, 148 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015). NORTHCUTT, SILBERMAN, and SMITH JJ., Concur. Opinion subject to revision prior to official publication.
