Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This Court previously denied Petitioner’s first Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus on March 28, 2023. Petitioner files this second petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus once again attempting to obtain review of his successive claims, both stemming from this Nassau County Circuit Court Case No. 2004-CF-000160-A. Accordingly, we dismiss this petition. See Richardson v. State, 918 So. 2d 999 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006). Because it appears that Petitioner’s filings are abusive, repetitive, malicious, or frivolous,

Petitioner is cautioned that any further pro se filings in this Court asserting claims stemming from Nassau County Circuit Court Case No. 2004-CF-000160-A, may result in sanctions such as a bar on pro se filing in this Court. State v. Spencer, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999).

DISMISSED; PETITIONER CAUTIONED.

LAMBERT, KILBANE, and MACIVER, JJ., concur.
