ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Appellant, Skip Stuart Stanley, filed the captioned 25 cases in this Court between January 30 and February 5, 2019, regarding unsuccessful filings in the
Monroe County Circuit Court. The notices of appeal, motions, appendices, and other filings collectively state no legally cognizable cause of action and no discernible legal basis for a claim of error in any Circuit Court ruling. These 2019 filings follow a series of unsuccessful and similar filings in this Court in 2017.
Upon its own motion, the Court now consolidates these twenty-five cases under Case No. 3D19-166, Stanley v. Sheriff Rick Ramsay, and orders the appellant to show good cause in writing, within 20 days from the date of this Order, why these cases should not be dismissed as frivolous and an abuse of process. See Ardis v.
Ardis, 130 So. 3d 791 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014); Fla. R. App. P. 9.410. The appellant’s response shall also show good cause in writing, within the same filing and 20-day period, why he should not be barred from proceeding pro se in any case before this court, with direction to the Clerk of this Court not to accept any future filings from him unless they are signed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar.
