Carlos Lorenzo Jackson,
Petitioner,
vs.
The State of Florida,
Respondent.
A Case of Original Jurisdiction โ Habeas Corpus.
Carlos Jackson, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for respondent.
Before EMAS, C.J., and FERNANDEZ, and LOGUE, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
On December 4, 2019, this court issued an order directing Carlos Lorenzo
Jackson to show cause why he should not be prohibited from filing further pro se
appeals, motions or other pleadings related to Eleventh Judicial Circuit court case
number F77-34723. Jackson timely filed his response on January 21, 2020. Upon
consideration of the response, we conclude that Jackson has failed to show sufficient
good cause to convince us to allow him to continue to file pro se appeals, petitions,
motions or other pleadings in case number F77-34723. See State v. Spencer, 751
So.2d 47 (Fla. 1999) and Concepcion v. State, 944 So.2d 1069 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006).
We direct the Clerk of the Third District Court of Appeal to refuse to accept any
such papers relating to the specified circuit court case number unless they have been
reviewed and signed by an attorney who is a duly licensed member of The Florida
Bar in good standing. See Whipple v. State, 112 So.3d 540 (Fla. 3d DCA 2013).
Additionally, any such further and unauthorized pro se filings by Jackson may
subject him to appropriate sanctions, including the issuance of written findings
forwarded to the Department of Corrections for its consideration of disciplinary
action, including the forfeiture of gain time. See ยง 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2017).
