Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This Court earlier dismissed Petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus stemming from Orange County Circuit Court Case Number 1980-CF-4194-A-O. Because it appears that Petitioner’s filings are abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous, Petitioner is cautioned that any further similarly inappropriate pro se filings in this Court asserting claims stemming from Orange County Circuit Court Case Number 1980-CF-4194-A-O 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. (2020); State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999).

PETITIONER CAUTIONED.

LAMBERT, C.J., and EDWARDS, J., concur. EISNAUGLE, J., dissents, without opinion.
