IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA

FIFTH DISTRICT

DEXTER JACKSON,

Petitioner,

v. Case No. 5D20-661

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Respondent. ________________________________/

Opinion filed May 22, 2020

Petition for Certiorari Review of Order from the Circuit Court for Volusia County, Raul A. Zambrano, Judge.

Dexter Jackson, Raiford, pro se.

No Appearance for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Due to Petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filings attacking his judgment and sentence in Volusia County Circuit Court Case No. 1996-32289-CFAES, this court issued an order directing Petitioner to show cause why he should not be prohibited from future pro se filings. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999). Having carefully considered the response and finding it fails to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed, we conclude that Petitioner is abusing the judicial process and should be barred from further pro se filings.
