3.800 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Jenifer M. Harris, Judge.

Lester Gray, Malone, pro se.

No Appearance for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals the trial court’s denial of his fifth Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800 motion to correct illegal sentence in Orange County Circuit Court Case No. 1982-CF-1701. We affirm the trial court’s order and caution Appellant that abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous filings directed to the identified lower court case number may result in sanctions, such as a bar on pro se filing in this Court and referral to prison officials for disciplinary proceedings, which may include forfeiture of gain time. See § 944.279(1), Fla Stat. (2018); State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999).
