Supreme Court of Florida

Michael A. Kendrick v. Julie L. Jones

January 25, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida dismissed Kendrick's pro se habeas petition and imposed sanctions, ordering that any future filings concerning his case be rejected unless filed by a Florida Bar‑member counsel, and found the petition frivolous under §944.279(1). The sanction was based on Kendrick’s history of meritless filings and the Court’s inherent authority to sanction abusive litigants.
