An appellant pro se in a criminal case challenged a trial court's summary denial of his amended successive post-conviction motion for newly discovered evidence and an order barring his further pro se filings. The appellate court affirmed both orders and noted that a prior order prohibiting his pro se filings in the same underlying case remains in effect.
The trial court properly denied the amended successive post-conviction motion and properly barred the appellant from further pro se filings. Both orders are affirmed.
[1] A trial court may bar a pro se litigant from further filings in a case when the litigant has engaged in abuse of the legal process.

PER CURIAM.
Appellant appeals the trial court's summary denial of his "Amended Successive Emergency Post-Conviction Motion-Newly Discovered Evidence," and the trial court's order barring him from further pro se filings in his trial court case. We affirm both orders without discussion.
We note, however, that our resolution of this appeal does not impact this Court's continued observance of its order entered in case number 6D2025-0332, prohibiting any further pro se filings from Appellant concerning case number
2014-CF-8299, due to Appellant's abuse of the legal process. Appellant filed his notice of appeal in this case prior to entry of that order. AFFIRMED.
