Daven O. Bowden v. State of Florida

Summary

The court dismissed Bowden's mandamus petition and, after considering his response to an order to show cause, sanctioned him for repeatedly filing meritless or inappropriate pro se requests for relief. It barred the clerk from accepting future filings from Bowden unless signed by a member in good standing of The Florida Bar, allowing him to petition only through counsel who determines the proceeding may have merit and can be filed in good faith.
