IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA
FIFTH DISTRICT
CATHERINE THOMAS DASILVA,
Petitioner,
v. Case No. 5D20-0554
IN RE: THE GUARDIANSHIP/GUARDIAN ADVOCACY OF JAMAR DONTA THOMAS,
Respondent.
________________________________/
Opinion filed June 12, 2020
Petition for Writ of Prohibition, Lisa Davidson, Respondent Judge.
Catherine Thomas DaSilva, Rockledge, pro se.
Victor S. Kostro, of Victor S. Kostro P.A., of Melbourne, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM.
This Court earlier dismissed Petitioner’s petition for writ of prohibition stemming from Brevard County Circuit Court Case No. 05-2019-GA-32618. Since that time, Petitioner has filed four motions, all meritless. Because it appears that Petitioner’s filings are abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous, Petitioner is cautioned that any further pro se filings in this case may result in sanctions such as a bar on pro se filing in this Court. See § 944.279(1), Fla. Stat. (2019); State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999).
WALLIS, EISNAUGLE and TRAVER, JJ., concur.
