IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA

FIFTH DISTRICT

WILLIAM MICHAEL WINDSOR,

Petitioner,

v.

Case No. 5D21-1281

COACH HOUSES AT LEESBURG

CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.,

Respondent.

________________________/

Opinion filed August 30, 2021

Petition for Writ of Certiorari Review of Order from the Circuit Court for Lake County, James R. Baxley, Judge.

William Michael Windsor, Leesburg, pro se.

Therese A. Savona and Geraldine P. Pena, of Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A., Orlando, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

Due to Petitioner’s apparent abuse of the legal process by his abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous pro se filings attacking various orders in Lake County Circuit Court Case Numbers 2019-CA-001871 and 2020-CA- 001647, this Court issued an order directing Petitioner to show cause why he should not be prohibited from future pro se filings. See State v. Spencer,

2

751 So. 2d 47, 48 (Fla. 1999). Having carefully considered the Response and finding it fails to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed, we conclude that he is abusing the judicial process and should be barred from further pro se filings. Therefore, in order to conserve judicial resources, Petitioner is prohibited from filing with this Court any further pro se filings concerning the above referenced cases. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any further pro se filings concerning the referenced cases. Any future filings regarding the referenced cases will be summarily rejected by the Clerk, unless filed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar. See Isley v. State, 652 So. 2d 409, 411 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995) (“Enough is enough.”).

FUTURE PRO SE FILINGS PROHIBITED.

WALLIS, SASSO and TRAVER, JJ., concur.
