Case Information

*1 Before LOGUE, SCALES and LUCK, JJ.

SCALES, J.

On May 10, 2017, this Court issued an opinion denying Antonio Doll’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. Our opinion contained an order to show cause *2 why Doll should not be prohibited from filing with this Court any further pro se appeals, petitions, motions or other proceedings related to his criminal sentence in circuit court case number 91-37881.

Doll responded by filing with this Court a response to the order to show cause, again raising his contention that: (1) his underlying sentences are illegal because the trial court’s written order imposing the sentences do not comport with its oral pronouncments at the sentencing hearing; and (2) he was improperly designated a habitual violent felony offender. Other than attaching a corrected sentencing order to his response—which further confirms no error on the part of the trial court in conforming the written sentence to its oral pronouncements— Doll’s response raises no new information or argument for our consideration. This matter is well settled on the merits. See Doll v. State, No. 3D17-890 (Fla. 3d DCA May 10, 2017). Accordingly, we conclude that Doll has not shown good cause to justify further pro se filings of appeals, petitions, motions or other proceedings with this Court.

Our responsibility is to balance Doll’s pro se right of access to courts with this Court’s need to devote its finite resources to legitimate appeals and petitions, recognizing the seriousness of the sanction when the litigant is a criminal defendant. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999). After an order to *3 show cause and an opportunity for the criminal defendant to respond, this Court may prevent further such filings. Id.

We direct the Clerk of the Third District Court of Appeal to refuse to accept from Doll any further pro se filings related to circuit court case number 91-37881; provided, however, that the Clerk of the Third District Court of Appeal may accept filings related to circuit court case number 91-37881 if such filings have been reviewed and signed by an attorney who is a licensed member of the Florida Bar in good standing.

Any further and unauthorized pro se filings by Doll will subject him to sanctions, including the issuance of written findings forwarded to the Florida Department of Corrections for consideration by it for disciplinary action, pursuant to section 944.279(1) of the Florida Statutes.

Order issued.
