Supreme Court of Florida

Alphonso James, Sr. v. Amira Dajani Fox

August 27, 2020

Summary

The Court concluded that James failed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed because his extensive history of meritless or inappropriate pro se filings abused the judicial process and burdened the Court's resources. It imposed a filing restriction requiring any future filings related to his specified criminal cases to be signed by a member of The Florida Bar and directed that the opinion be sent to the Department of Corrections. The Court also retained jurisdiction to impose these sanctions after dismissing the underlying quo warranto petition.
