Respondent.
A case of Original Jurisdiction – Habeas Corpus.

Before WELLS, SHEPHERD and LOGUE, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
On November 4, 2015, this court denied Cedric Jefferson’s most recent
petition for writ of habeas corpus, and ordered Jefferson to show cause why he
should not be prohibited from filing with this court any further pro se appeals,
petitions, motions, or other proceedings related to his criminal convictions and
sentences in case numbers 93-1472-B, 94-39169, 94-39724, 94-40672, 94-40673,
95-8824, 95-8825, 95-8827, 95-13969, 95-13970, 95-14776, 95-15140, 95-16068,
and 95-16070. Jefferson’s response to this court’s order does not demonstrate
good cause to justify further filings of appeals, petitions, motions, and other
pleadings concerning these convictions and sentences.1 Accordingly, after
balancing Jefferson’s pro se right of access to courts with the court’s need to
devote its finite resources to legitimate appeals, see State v. Spencer,
751 So. 2d 47,
48 (Fla.1999), we hereby order that the Clerk of the Court of the Third District
Court of Appeal refuse to accept further pro se filings related to case numbers 93-
1472-B, 94-39169, 94-39724, 94-40672, 94-40673, 95-8824, 95-8825, 95-8827,
95-13969, 95-13970, 95-14776, 95-15140, 95-16068, and 95-16070, unless filings
related to these cases are reviewed and signed by an attorney who is a licensed
member of the Florida Bar in good standing.
1Jefferson previously sought review in case numbers: 3D98-1224, 3D99-2834,
3D99-2395, 3D01-2851, 3D01-1389, 3D01-1612, 3D02-871, 3D03-801, 3D04-

Additionally, Jefferson is warned that any further and unauthorized pro se
filings in these cases will subject him to sanctions, including the issuance of
written findings forwarded to the Florida Department of Corrections for
consideration by it for disciplinary action, pursuant to section 944.279(1) of the
Florida Statutes.
