PER CURIAM.
Appellant appeals the trial court’s denial of his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) motion for postconviction relief in Brevard County Circuit Court Case No. 2011-CF-50130-BX. We affirm the trial court’s order and caution Appellant that abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous filings directed to Brevard County Circuit Court Case No. 2011-CF-50130-BX may result in sanctions such as a bar on pro se filing in this Court and referral to prison officials for disciplinary proceedings, which may include forfeiture of gain time. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2023); State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999).
AFFIRMED.
