November 7, 2018 PER CURIAM.
This court issued an order on September 14, 2018, directing Appellant to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed against him in view of his having instituted numerous repetitive, meritless proceedings in this court. See State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999). Appellant has failed to respond or provide a legal basis to justify withholding imposition of sanctions.
Appellant is hereby prohibited from filing any pro se filings in this Court challenging his conviction and sentence imposed in Leon County Circuit Court case number 2006-CF-1004. The Clerk of this Court is directed to not accept any filings in this case unless they are signed by a member in good standing of the Florida Bar. Additionally, we find this appeal is a frivolous proceeding brought before this Court by a state prisoner. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2017). We direct the clerk to forward a certified copy of this opinion to the appropriate institution or facility within the Florida Department of Corrections for disciplinary procedures pursuant to department rules.
MAKAR, OSTERHAUS, and JAY, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331.
