Supreme Court of Florida
Willie A. Smith, Petitioner v. Julie L. Jones
May 12, 201641 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 222
Summary
The Court imposed filing sanctions after concluding that Smith had repeatedly submitted meritless, frivolous, or inappropriate proceedings concerning two criminal cases. It barred the Clerk from accepting future pro se filings related to those cases unless signed by Florida Bar counsel and directed that the opinion be sent to the Department of Corrections for disciplinary procedures. The Court also deemed the challenged habeas petition frivolous because it sought immediate release based on alleged sentence and gain-time calculation errors.
