Full Opinion

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, SECOND DISTRICT KEVIN M. OWENS, Petitioner, v. Case No. 2D19-4271 MIKE FORTE, VILLAGE INVESTMENT, INC., AND CYPRESS PARK GARDEN HOMES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, Respondents. ________________________________/ Opinion filed December 31, 2020 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Elizabeth Rice, Judge. Kevin M. Owens, Tampa, pro se. Scot E. Samis, of Traub Lieberman Straus & Shrewsberry LLP, St. Petersburg, for Respondent, Cypress Park Garden Homes I. No Appearance for other Respondents. COHEN, JAY P., Associate Judge. Due to Petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filings attacking the judgment entered in Hillsborough County Circuit Court Case Number 2004-CA-6169, 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. In order to conserve judicial resources, Petitioner is prohibited from filing with this Court any further pro se filings concerning Hillsborough Circuit Court Case Number 2004- CA-6169. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any further pro se filings concerning the referenced case. The Clerk will summarily reject any future filings regarding the referenced case unless filed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. See Isley v. State, 652 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“Enough is enough.”); see also, Baruchel v. Dalton, 268 So. 3d 280 (Fla. 5th DCA 2019) (prohibiting further pro se pleadings due to appellant’s abuse of judicial process). Further Pro Se Filings PROHIBITED.
