Edna Jane FAVREAU, Appellant,
v.
Anna May FAVREAU, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
*1189 Edna J. Favreau, Melbourne, pro se.
No Appearance for Appellee.
PLEUS, C.J.
Edna Jane Favreau (Edna) filed a notice of appeal, pro se, from an order entered by the Circuit Court of Volusia County, Probate Division, which prohibits her from further pro se filings in a probate proceeding involving the estate of her ex-husband, Walter Frederick Favreau. Two circuit judges have entered similar orders in other litigation, barring Edna from further pro se filings based on abusive and frivolous court filings.
The order does not dispose of the probate action, nor can it be deemed final in any way as to Edna since it does not preclude Edna from any further filings, only pro se filings. As such, the order is not reviewable by appeal as per Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.110(a)(2), which authorizes appellate review "of orders entered in probate . . . matters that finally determine a right or obligation of an interested person as defined in the Florida Probate Code." While in a probate matter several final orders may be entered during the course of proceedings that address different issues and different persons, see Committee Notes to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.110, the order here is in no way final in nature.
The order is not a reviewable non-final order. See Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.130. The remaining avenue for review is certiorari but Edna has failed to establish the requisites for issuance of the writ in this case. A court has the inherent power to prevent abuse of court procedure which interferes with the effective administration of justice. Platel v. Maguire, Voorhis & Wells, P.A.,
Accordingly, we treat the notice of appeal as a petition for writ of certiorari and deny the petition.
CERTIORARI DENIED.
GRIFFIN and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
