3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Dan Traver, Judge.

Frank D. Scott, South Bay, pro se.

No Appearance for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm as to all issues raised on appeal finding them to be meritless.

Because it appears that Appellant’s postconviction filings are abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous, Appellant is cautioned that any further similarly inappropriate pro se filings in this Court asserting claims stemming from Orange County Circuit Court Case No. 199 l-CF-4660, may result in sanctions such as a bar on pro se filing in this Court and

2 referral to prison officials for disciplinary proceedings, which may include forfeiture of gain time. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2019); State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999).

AFFIRMED.

EVANDER, C.J., ORFINGER and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.
