Supreme Court of Florida

Reginald Scott Walter v. Dept. of Corrections Secretary

May 30, 2024

Summary

The court concluded that Walter failed to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed after repeatedly filing meritless or inappropriate pro se requests concerning the same convictions and sentences. It found that his latest habeas petition repeated claims from two prior petitions, abused the Court’s limited resources, and was frivolous. The court therefore barred the Clerk from accepting future related filings unless signed by a member of The Florida Bar and directed that the opinion be forwarded to the Department of Corrections; no separate opinions were filed.
