PER CURIAM.
The Court dismisses this appeal. In Edwards v. State, 192 So. 3d 522 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016), Appellant was barred from filing any pro se appeals or petitions in this Court relating to Duval County Circuit Court case numbers 1997-CF-7651 and 1999-CF-8883. See id. at 525. The Court finds that this appeal violates Edwards and is frivolous. Thus, the Clerk of the Court shall provide a certified copy of this opinion to the Florida Department of Corrections to be forwarded to the appropriate institution or facility for disciplinary
procedures pursuant to the rules of the Department as provided in section 944.279, Florida Statutes.
The Court warns Appellant that any future filings that this Court determines to be frivolous may result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including a prohibition against any further pro se filings in this Court and another referral to the appropriate institution for disciplinary procedures. See § 944.279, Fla. Stat. (2024).
