FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
STATE OF FLORIDA
_____________________________
No. 1D20-3050
_____________________________
ADA A. GONZALEZ,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
John C. Cooper, Judge.
July 13, 2021
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the order under review, and write only because we
find that this appeal, like numerous others Appellant has filed, is
completely frivolous and a waste of judicial resources. This Court’s
records reflect that, in addition to this case, Appellant has filed at
least six prior cases in this Court related to her ongoing attacks
against Judge Michael J. Rudisill, a Seminole County circuit judge
who presided over a domestic relations case against Appellant’s
former spouse. That underlying dispute was Eighteenth Circuit
Case No. 2000-DR-1898-02. A related case, a foreclosure action
against Appellant’s property in which the same judge is assigned,
is Eighteenth Circuit Case No. 2016-CA-1283. This Court’s cases
in which Appellant continued or continues to pursue this frivolous
issue against Judge Rudisill include Case Nos. 17-1281, 18-186,
18-1881, 19-1472, 19-3830, 20-3050, and 21-1399. None of the
disposed cases have had any merit, and neither does this one.
These cases reveal a history of repetitious and frivolous
filings, which consume scarce judicial resources needed for
meritorious cases. Accordingly, pursuant to State v. Spencer, 751
So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999), Appellant shall file a response within 20 days
to show why sanctions should not be imposed on her, including a
complete bar against any further pro se filings in this Court related
to her claims against Judge Rudisill. Appellant is advised that the
failure to timely comply with this order may result in the
imposition of sanctions without further opportunity to be heard.
See Fla. R. App. P. 9.410.
AFFIRMED and RESPONSE ORDERED.
RAY, MAKAR, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.

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