Supreme Court of Florida

Edward R. Steiner v. Ricky D. Dixon

June 29, 2023

Summary

The court sanctioned Steiner after concluding that his repeated, meritless pro se filings concerning his convictions abused the court's limited judicial resources. 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 forwarded to the Department of Corrections because the underlying habeas petition was frivolous. The court also declined to entertain any motion for rehearing or clarification.
