Supreme Court of Florida

Michael Anthony Baysen v. State of Florida

December 5, 2019285 So. 3d 289

Summary

The court concluded that Baysen failed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed after repeatedly filing meritless or otherwise improper pro se requests concerning the same criminal cases. It barred the clerk from accepting future related filings unless signed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar and directed that the opinion be sent to the Department of Corrections. The court also noted that the underlying petition had been dismissed because the court lacked jurisdiction or because discretionary review was untimely.
