Supreme Court of Florida

Sidney Marts Jr. v. Julie L. Jones

December 20, 2018

Summary

The Court sanctioned Marts after finding that he failed to show cause why he should not be barred from filing further pro se pleadings related to his criminal case. It concluded that his extensive history of meritless filings abused the Court's limited resources and that the habeas petition was frivolous. The Court barred future related filings unless signed by a Florida Bar member, directed that the opinion be sent to the Department of Corrections, and denied his contempt motion.
