FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________
No. 1D2025-3254
_____________________________
DUANE WOULLARD,
Appellant,
v.
RICHARD COMERFORD, Secretary,
Florida Department of
Corrections,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Jefferson County.
J. Layne Smith, Judge.
July 22, 2026
PER CURIAM.
Duane Woullard appeals the circuit court’s order dismissing
his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Finding no error, we affirm.
Because habeas corpus petitions “are not to be used for
additional appeals on questions which could have been, should
have been, or were raised on appeal or in a rule 3.850 motion,”
Windom v. State, 416 So. 3d 1140, 1152 (Fla. 2025), Woullard’s
current petition is frivolous. We note that Woullard has filed
numerous other pro se appeals in this court under at least two
names—Dexter Woullard and Duane Woullard. ∗ Both names are
associated with Florida Department of Corrections prisoner
number 072248. The court finds that this appeal is frivolous and
warns Woullard that any future filings this court determines to be
frivolous or malicious may result in a prohibition against any
future pro se filings in this court. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d
47, 49 (Fla. 1999) (explaining that, when a litigant has filed
repetitious and frivolous pro se pleadings, a court may bar any
future pro se filings after providing the litigant with notice and a
reasonable opportunity to be heard).
AFFIRMED.
ROBERTS, NORDBY, and NEFF, JJ., concur.

Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
