3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Tom Young, Judge.

Ronald McKeehan, Chipley, pro se.

No Appearance for Appellee.

SASSO, J.

For the sixth time, Appellant appeals the trial court's denial of his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion for postconviction relief in Orange County Circuit Court Case No. 2001-CF-184-A-O. 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).
