Derrick Grantley,
Appellant,
vs.
The State of Florida,
Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Milton Hirsch,
Judge.
Derrick Grantley, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Sandra Lipman, Assistant Attorney
General, for appellee.
Before FERNANDEZ, HENDON, and MILLER, JJ.
HENDON, J.
In view of the State’s response and our review of the record on appeal, we
reverse the trial court’s order barring Grantley from all future pleadings and
documents related to the underlying case unless signed by a member in good
standing of the Florida Bar. We agree with the State that it does not appear that
Grantley’s limited filings in this case demonstrate an egregious abuse of the post-
conviction process warranting the barring of further pro se pleadings.
Reversed.
